1000 Terabyte - 100 Host Array
-
Any further update on the project your building ? Looking forward to seeing the pics.
-
Ok so I'm a potential customer (renter) where do I go to signup for service.
-
@tmctech; SIA dosen't work that way...
That's the whoe idea of decentralization. Youd do not pick nd chhose your host.. <your renter, the program does that for you..

Hello to everyone,
We're running a bit behind schedule.
-still waiting on our Fiber install (permits took longer than anticipated)
-racks just arrivedIn order not to wast any more time we may launch the first few servers in our current data center (start with 10 servers -100TB) .
I will take a few more pictures some time this week.
-
Here are a few more pictures.
We ended up getting these units for a little over $100 per Rack (used).



We plan to bring them to the new Data center sometime next week (waiting until we are finished with the lift).
-
A bit more information about our project:
The initial setup will consist of NORCO RPC-4224 4U Rackmount Server Cases. Each case will support 24 Hot-Swappable SATA/SAS Drive Bays (may go with a custom cases in the future).

http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-4224/
On the software side we will be using Freenas with RAIDZ3 storage pools. The back end will be managed by Apache CloudStack and KVM Hosts (KVM Hosts will be provisioned from dedicated servers / not from the NORCO systems) . https://cloudstack.apache.org/
Good times ahead of us..
-
@theone great update. Your data center up already?
-
I think this is great news!
SIA tech needs big innovative players, who just do not seek ROI in 24 months, around it to get more hype!
SIA is great idea and using great technology to produce real decentralized storage... I believe that this is the direct where data storage is going.Little worried about how SIA network handles that data would not end up in same data center?
Is it using some geo identification?
Of course when network goes bigger enough it is probably not an problem anymore.
But if this takes 33% share of all available data storage this will probably be an issue... all user data can end up to same data center.I myself will try also support and contribute to SIA. I was planning to set mining / storage dedicated hardware (lot of GPU and disk). Of course I do not have recourses like this and only building in my "home lab". :)
Noes testing the mining and planning...
Oh well I get of the track here!Great news and nice to see like this innovative projects!
-
We've got some great news to announce. We finally got the Fiber installed (waiting for it to be lit).

We expect to have our first hosts up within a few weeks.
-
Awesome news! Excited to see all that storage on the network :D
-
So many delays but I really hope to see your storage online soon! Good luck!
-
@theone any updates on this? Seems you haven't updated us about your progress for some time.
-
Any further pictures on the development ?
-
I have some good news and some bad news. For credibility's sake let's start with the bad news.
- Optical fibers waiting to be lit up
- Waiting on Server room HVAC system compilation (will update with pictures)
We are now pushing the new Data center launch date to Oct 1st.
But there is some GOOD news here too:
- Started to bring online the first few Sia hosts. These hosts are being hosted at our current data center.
- With less than 100 active contracts the hosts are already peaking at over 10Mbps upload (not much traffic on the download side yet).
- 10 new hosts will be brought online this week.
I will keep everyone updated on the overall usage (upload and download) .
We look forward to making this a success.
-
@theone Nice to hear from you again! I thought the project was abandoned :) Keep up the good work!
-
Are all the hosts on the same IP address? Would be great if you could post a siahub.info link to the hosts so we can track progress there
-
Wild guess: Is your IP address 188.244.40.69? I see there are about 10 hosts running on that address, each with 5 TB of space. But one of them has 15 TB and another one 9.3 TB.
