Impossible Cloud Network

The Impossible Cloud Network is a decentralized cloud infrastructure that stores data using a distributed architecture. Users can easily integrate Impossible Cloud into existing workflows and applications, ensuring seamless and uninterrupted data management. Unlike centralized cloud providers, Impossible Cloud enhances the security of backups while simultaneously improving performance. The decentralized architecture eliminates single points of failure, ensuring higher reliability. The result is optimized availability (fewer downtimes) and increased resilience (faster recovery times). Additionally, Impossible Cloud is fully compliant with GDPR, ensuring that user data is processed in accordance with strict European data protection regulations. All data is geographically restricted to Europe and stored in state-of-the-art, ISO-certified data centers that meet the highest standards for security and redundancy, providing robust protection for sensitive information.

peaq

The PEAQ project is a platform that uses blockchain technology to improve the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT). It focuses on connecting machines, devices, and cars so they can work together safely and efficiently, without relying on large centralized companies. The PEAQ token serves as the currency within the system. It can be used to pay for services or to earn money by contributing one’s own machines or data to the network. The PEAQ platform has already connected over two million devices to the network.

 

Natix Network

NATIX GmbH is developing a platform on which city surveillance cameras automatically detect relevant events with the help of artificial intelligence and exchange information with other cameras via a blockchain-based communication interface developed by NATIX itself. Cameras from different manufacturers and operators can also be integrated in order to better control traffic flows or to be able to react faster and more specifically in the event of an accident. The solutions developed by NATIX are particularly relevant for operators of industrial plants and for the development of Smart Cities.
