Three days ago, I woke up to the realization that my phone had automatically formatted itself and I had lost several of my very important files, I quickly opened up some of my apps where I store important information, I found out that all files I saved in my WhatsApp were gone! Everything was new.

Not wasting any time, I hit google search box ”How to recover data on an android device”, and after over 4 hours of scrutiny, it dawned on me that what’s lost is lost.

So like every other reasonable person, I began to seek for a means to ensure that what happened to me would not repeat itself again, then I came across this phrase “CLOUD STORAGE”
After an extensive study of Cloud Storage services, I had one question in mind ”HOW DO WE TRUST THESE GUYS WITH OUR PRIVACY ?” and how exactly can I afford to pay for the huge charges of cloud data storage.

Since the inception of data safety, cloud computing and cloud data storage has been in vogue and has been oligopolized by 4 Major companies of the World. AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft and IBM. These major players in the mainstream industry charge enormously for cloud data storage, and also come up with effective strategies to muff out new competitors in the business.

Introducing IAGON...

IAGON Is a conglomerate of decentralized cloud services involving cloud computing and cloud storage services. IAGON makes use of unused storage spaces and the computing power of computers, servers and data centers to create a global supercomputer
IAGON plans to revolutionalize the cloud and web marketing industry by providing a solution incorporating 3 technologies that are unique and interoperable - Blockchain, Cryptographic, and AI Technologies.

SHA256 ENCRYPTION

IAGON platform utilizes the SHA256 Encryption protocol which utilizes a slicing mechanism for effective storage of data. In SHA256, Individual data stores on the platform, are divided into blocks and each block are allocated to miners equally, this ensures that no one miner has access to enough information about any data been sent, also each block of data is linked to the former in a blockchain sequence, this ensures military protocol security for individual information and only those with passwords to the information can retrieve it from the blockchain.

IAGON ARCHITECTURE:
IAGON Architecture comprises of three major frameworks,

1. Machine Learning Algorithm:
   IAGON platform integrates an AI system that just like humans, evolves with time and use and adapts better to the platform. IAGON utilizes the Smart Computing Grid which initiates, manages and controls all activities in the platform. The Smart Computing Grid is controlled by the AI Tracker, the AI Tracker efficiently ensures optimum operation of the Grid.

IAGON was built not only to serve the decentralized network but also work with current data storage facilities like SQL and NoSQL databases. The approach taken with IAGON is unique to the point that IAGON utilizes is the machine learning algorithm to distribute load across a decentralized network for processing and then encrypts/decrypts data which flows through its system.

1. Blockchain and Miners
   IAGON utilizes the blockchain technology to decentralize the cloud storage infrastructure, creating computer, servers and data center nodes for beaking down data. This ensures that every data sent to the platform is broken down and allocated equally to each node for confirmation. The hashing algorithm(SHA256) enables intertwining of each block to the previous block until all sliced data have been fully reconciled by AI Tracker.

What makes IAGON unique is the fact that IAGON is able to integrate seamlessly with current database architecture including SQL, NoSQL, Big data databases, private Blockchain, hyper ledger, or any public Blockchain or decentralized network.

1. Encryption/Decryption Protocol:
   The encryption and decryption protocol ensures the security of data from any external or internal source, it uses an algorithm that slices and encrypts data once it is uploaded into the platform, notwithstanding the source,

This provides a unique approach towards decentralization as any external platform with an API can simply be integrated to IAGON’s platform to utilize its services. What makes IAGON unique is the fact that IAGON is able to integrate seamlessly with current database architecture including SQL, NoSQL, Big data databases, private Blockchain, hyper ledger, or any public Blockchain or decentralized network.

HOW IAGON WILL CHANGE THE CLOUD COMPUTING INDUSTRY:

IAGON will engender a disruptive transformation and revolutionalize the cloud computing industry by putting the cloud storage and cloud computing portfolio in the hands of the people, Individuals can now share unused storage spaces and processing power to earn IAGON tokens, which is virtually impossible on centralized cloud storage facilities.
Also, IAGON will publish a super computer using nodes from computers, servers and data centers, creating a giant super computer that can effectively compete against all cloud storage service providers, and offer this service at a fraction of the price of the big companies.

HOW SMALL AND LARGE BUSINESSES WOULD BENEFIT BY ACCESSING IAGON SERVICES AT A REDUCED COST:

Everytime businesses get access to better service in any area of implementation, there is always a stretch of innovative activities which crumps up and sends the business into the next phase of customer satisfaction. IAGON ‘s clients, not exempted from this, there are 3 major benefits that would accrue from this access to large computing power and storage at reduced cost:

1. Advancement of Big Data industry:

Prior to this time, small businesses are unable to venture into the big data industry due to a large amount of storage space required and the high and fast processing power involved, but using IAGON infrastructure, small businesses and start-ups can venture into such and become exceedingly successful.

2. Better and Innovative Services:

With the high-edge security protocol introduced by IAGON team, small and large businesses have no need to worry about security of data for their clients, rather they can now concentrate and build novel and innovative service structures for their clients.

3. Flexibility:

With the introduction of IAGON Multiple Blockchain Support, small and large businesses can choose and decide which blockchain is best for them and commit to nodes on those platforms, making flexibility and interoperability amongst platforms effective.

IMPACT OF A GLOBAL SUPER COMPUTER

The impact of having a global super computer which people from all parts of the world can access via a smart computing grid is enormous and cannot be over-emphasized, but i will highlight just a few with some use cases.

1. No More Loss of Data:
   With the introduction of A Global Cloud Storage facility, I can effectively store all my data on the Smart Computing Grid, travel to anywhere in the world and seamlessly retrieve and/or recover my data without having to go through strenuous processes.

2. Data transfer Made Easy:
   Imagine trying to send 150GB file across to someone with a 15kbps processing speed?
   It will take years! , welcome to IAGON solution, A Global Super Computer combines the processing power of all computers. Servers and data center nodes on its platform to create a processing power that is super fast, super effective and super secured.

BENEFITS OF HAVING ACCESS TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF COMPUTING POWER BY SMALL DEVELOPMENT TEAM WITH LOWER BUDGETS:

As i have already illustrated, small development teams with lower budgets can effectively utilize large computing power to innovate and create excellent platforms and projects for their clients.

Small development teams, due to lower budgets, would have had streamlined their projects to something they can successfully carry, however having access to enormous computing power with reduced cost will engender for a re-allignment and proficient productION of more excellent projects which the team May have not been able to do without such, all thanks to IAGON.

HOW IAGON WILL IMPACT THE AI AND BIG DATA INDUSTRY:

IAGON will be at the fore-front of the AI revolution, to prove this fact, IAGON team has implemented the AI Technology into the main framework of their platform. With a Global Super Computer in place, innovations in the AI and Big Data industry will ensue, this would not have been remotely possible, following the enormous charges to access large cloud storage and cloud computing facilities using a centralized means.
Moreover, decentralization makes it an efficient means to run servers to avoid clogging, in this scenario, every device connected to the server acts as a node and miners are always at work to quickly confirm transactions and earn monetary rewards in form of IAGON tokens.

The Big Data industry involving live streaming, video sharing, online gaming, et cetera will experience a boom due to IAGON solution as more start-ups would consider entry into the industry with innovative and competitive ideas to ensure growth and development.

HOW I CAN BENEFIT AS AN INDIVIDUAL FROM SHARING COMPUTING POWER AND STORAGE:

IAGON team has made it more fun for individuals and corporate bodies to join the platform, sharing their computing power and storage, and earning monetary incentives in form of IAGON tokens (IAG). This would effectively ensure massive and global adoption of IAGON platform.
