Description webSPACE
Your MP3 collection has been illegally downloaded? Do you get your favorite series free of charge from the Internet before it is broadcast? Well, you're certainly not alone, but there are still certain risks involved: Storing all this data on your hard disk can quickly become a real problem - and depending on national legislation, it can also be very expensive.
With webSPACE you can now protect yourself from the risk of a warning letter and store your data securely in a legal vacuum. This means that in future you no longer need to fear a house search, but can lean back in your chair and let the police do their job - nothing can happen to you because you have stored your data with webSPACE. webSPACE in space. Yes, you read that right! From now on you can save your data in space!
getDigital makes this possible because we recently acquired our own satellite.
The satellite is not affected by any national legislation. This means that our server hardware enjoys the same autonomy as the planned Server drones of the Piratebay. Data that is not entirely legal to store in your country is therefore safe with us.
How does it work?
The data server is a modified Strela satellite (Cosmos-2251), which is in low orbit and must therefore be fed into the network via a Strela receiving antenna. Of course, you don't need to install your own antenna on your roof to save your data on our Kosmos-2251, because we take care of the direct communication with the satellite for you. For this purpose, we have installed a receiving antenna on our company building in Kiel, which enables data exchange between the satellite and the World Wide Web.
As the satellite does not orbit the earth geostationary, it is not permanently accessible with our antenna, but we can still guarantee a stable connection by temporarily storing your data on one of our servers on the ground in encrypted packets until it is stored on the satellite. The security and anonymity of your data is our top priority!
The Kosmos-2251 runs a Linux distribution specially adapted by us and has a maximum storage volume of 42 terabytes.
So you need to hurry! Secure your share of this future-oriented data storage system today.
History of the satellite
The webSPACE is hosted on the Kosmos-2251 satellite. This originally belonged to the Soviet satellite constellation Strela and was used for military purposes. Since the collision with the U.S. satellite Iridium 33 on February 10, 2009, it can no longer be used for military purposes as it was partially damaged. At the beginning of 2011, Kosmos-2251 was decommissioned on the occasion of the dissolution of the Russian Space Forces was auctioned off.
We at getDigital knew immediately that we had to bid! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to have our own getDigital satellite - and indeed we did! We won the bid and immediately began working feverishly on new firmware that would bypass the satellite's damaged circuits and make it suitable for use as a data server. The first successful test runs with the new firmware took place at the beginning of 2012 and now we have finally reached the point where we can use our innovative webSPACE to the market.
