OCP for Businesses

OCP provides high storage system quality for best market prices.

Confidentiality

OCP is designed to store confidential data. The data is always crypted and splitted in small pieces on the origin client machine and then sent to OCP storage nodes, so only crypted data transit on the network. This does not prevent data to be stolen from the origin machine if the machine is contaminated by malicious software or hardware. OCP security works only with trusted clients.

Integrity

When retrieving data, user expects that the data will be the same as what was previousely stored. To insure this, all data content can be checked. This is called integrity checking. Because OCP exclusively uses immutable objects, it can be easily done by checking that the hash of the object content is equals to the address where it is stored.

Persistency

As most of cloud storage system, OCP tries to make your data always retrievable, even if some nodes of the distributed are down. This is insured by duplication and redundancy permanent activities inside the OCP network. OCP propose a default configuration for managing persistency aspect, but let the user customize algorithm and parameters to suit his needs. Increasing persistency requires increasing used storage space per semantic data unit.

Resiliency

OCP is a fully distributed system meaning that there is no central node in the system. Having central node, or node with exclusive responsability makes the system more vulnerable to internal or external attacks. OCP is designed to form a distributed system with a maximum of resiliency. Any node shutdown must have the smallest impact possible on the system behavior. Single point of failure are avoided.

Performance

Network performance clearly relied on the physical network throughput. But OCP still tries to increase performance by reducing the trajectory of the object on the network. When you store object on an OCP network, the object will be stored in a such way that the OCP system does not lose them, but sill they will also be stored close to the location you are probably accessing to them. OCP for instance use caching on the road mechanism.

Security

All user data sent to the network are encrypted according the user algorithm and password. All user algorithm can be chosen by the user at his sole discretion. The user algorithm must be integrated as a plugin on the OCP Client. Because OCP is open, we try to make a big community working with it, and make it able to detect all potential security breach to insure the best support.

Transparency

All OCP network details can be visualized. Each node that is used can be inspected. The quality of service can be measured and evaluated. So the final user can have a good and reliable measure of the health of the system.

Portability

OCP is open, and we make our best to get OCP software for most of possible platforms, including Personal Computer, mobile, tablet, server on all major operating system (Windows, Android, Mac OS, Linux, etc.) and on all technologies (Standalone program, web based, etc.).

Compatibility

Unlike most of the proprietary solution, if a company decides to change OCP cloud storage provider, there is no impact on OCP based software. The advantage is to keep paying cloud storage at the best price of the market.

Free Competition

The OCP Market Place give you a clear view on the OCP Storage price. Unlike the proprietary solution, you can really compare the offer because they are based on the same technical content.

Resellable storage

Most of the cloud storage are based on monthly fee. With OCP, you can resell what you don't use.

Public and private network

There is one OCP official public network where you can connect to (see the official sponsor list). But OCP network can be also private. A company can decide to run its own private OCP network.
