This distributed data storage startup wants to take on Big Cloud

Tigris, a distributed data storage startup, has raised $25 million to expand its network of localized data storage centers. The company aims to provide an alternative to the dominance of major cloud providers by offering a decentralized storage infrastructure. Tigris' approach involves establishing a network of geographically distributed storage nodes, which allows for data to be stored closer to the end-users, reducing latency and improving data access. This model is intended to offer a more resilient and cost-effective solution compared to the centralized nature of traditional cloud storage services. The funding will be used to further develop Tigris' technology and expand its network of storage nodes, positioning the company as a potential challenger to the established cloud giants. The startup's vision is to create a more democratized and distributed computing ecosystem, where users have greater control and ownership over their data.
