Storj Team. Which geographical area do you want us to run our nodes?

[leovarmak]

Hey,

We are setting up around 80TB nodes. I would like to ask the team where they would want the servers. EU or NA? Asia? Where will it be more helpful for you?

Welcome to the forum @leovarmak !

The whole idea is to have decentralized network so NOT having all nodes in 1 data center is preferred and having them geographically apart is expected.

PS: I am just another SNO. This isn’t an official response.

@leovarmak
My own data center in San Jose
There is 1.5tbps bandwidth access, and now the redundancy is about 300gbps
And I’ve started putting high-density storage servers on the shelves
Let’s take a look at what I said earlier:

[333] [444] Directly in their own data center on a cabinet Two way E5 16GB 2*6TB 80 nodes in total

Of course
Can’t be in the same area
therefore
I have some data centers planned to cooperate in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Africa
Nodes deploying sotrj
I think that’s enough
The stability of network and power supply is definitely the data center

@leovarmak
Of course
The original intention of the government is also global decentralization
If the data nodes are all in the same region
There’s no point in that

Seems to me that we still are missing node coverage in Africa (almost none so far) and more nodes in Asia would help too.

[leovarmak]

I heard that geography play a role in Traffic. Since there aren’t much in Africa or Asia, will I be able to get more traffic ?

[heunland]

we expect that in production we won’t see anymore the current pattern of more traffic coming from certain areas which is due to our testing by the Storj team now. In production customers from all around the world will start creating traffic on the network from whereever they are located.

So I plan to
Node based in Asia, Africa and South America
At the same time, it also meets the requirements of storj’s global deployment node

Aún piensas en nodos para America del Sur ?

¡Sí, por favor!

Request for more Storj Nodes in South America

Hello Storj community, We have been seeing great growth over the past several months and are very grateful for the efforts all of you have made to support the network. Currently we are experiencing growth in the South American region but we don’t yet have a large number of node operators in this area. We want to ensure customers in this area have an optimal experience. So we are putting this word out to request that if any of you have the ability to add additional capacity in this region, or kn…

Actualmente tengo disponibilidad de espacio físico de alrededor de 30 metros cuadrados y coste eléctrico casi $0 y conexión a internet de 500MB/s(escalable), lamentablemente no tengo la infraestructura de servidores.

Estoy dispuesto a cooperar en lo requerido.

[heunland]

Gracias por su interés en participar en suministro de espacio para la red de Storj. Por favor tome en cuenta que estamos buscando proveedores quienes ya cuentan con la infraestructura requerida, es decir, el foco es datacenters que no se utilizan a su potencial total en este momento, por lo cual podrán dedicar parte de su espacio y ancho de banda disponible a correr nodos para Storj. No estamos buscando construcción de nueva infraestructura dedicada solamente para instalar nodos para Storj. Es decir, no basta con contar con un espacio físico y buena conectividad de internet, pero debe ya existir el edificio y los equipos de computo con espacio subutilizado. No ofrecemos financiamiento para construir infraestructura nueva.
