Problem with Cloud Storage—Centralization
Data Center Monthly Costs
➡ Data Center costs are far too high
• $500 M to $1 B to build
• 85% of datacenter capacity on average idle
• Very fast rising power and cooling costs
➡ Central point of failure
• Local disasters and increased security hazards

How it Works
Point Symform at
the folders you
want to backup
Data is chopped
into 64MB blocks
64MB
64MB
Each block is
encrypted using
256-AES and a
randomlygenerated key
Each encrypted
block is then
shredded into 96
fragments (includes
redundancy)
64MB
And all this is done
BEHIND your firewall

fragments to 96 different
geographic nodes on the
Symform network
