Metacloud Challenges The Existing Cloud Computing Paradigm

Minneapolis, April 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharing economies that embrace the decentralization philosophy have proven their great ability of disrupting and transforming a status-quo, in a much necessarily refreshing and innovative manner. The latest debut to the field is the US-based MetaCloud. Their colorful, somewhat Solana-inspired and insightful website and whitepaper suggest that they are challenging the existing cloud computing paradigm with a new decentralized alternative wherein the pool of computational resources are not provided by centralized parties, but aggregates those contributed by a large cohort of independent individuals. In another word, MetaCloud operates somewhat similar to the model employed by Uber and AirBNB, except it targets Computing. MetaCloud's primary target is to connect individuals and organizations, enabling them to rent and lease their otherwise dormant and unused computational resources such as mobile, storages, CPUs, GPUs at ease.

In the world of crypto, hacks and breaches have become a new normal. In such a depressing environment, it is really rejuvenating to see that MetaCloud pays meticulous attention to security, fairness, transparency and privacy in their design. Their platform enables two-way protections for both the requesters and the resource providers, leveraging state-of-the-art privacy and security protections to guard the infrastructure against a malicious code execution, as well as protect client computation against a malicious resource provider.
