Wuala - a distributed file system
BackGoogle Tech Talks
October, 30 2007
ABSTRACT
After three years of research and development on a distributed storage system, we are ready to unveil the result: Wuala. Wuala is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet. Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free. In the talk, I will explain what Wuala is and how it works, and I will also show a demo. All attendees will also get an invitation code to join the early alpha version.

In 2003, I did an exchange semester at the TU Delft, the Netherlands, as part of the Unitech exchange program, focusing on business and management. In 2004, a six-month internship followed with Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton, New Jersey in the US, where I worked in the 'Intelligent Vision & Reasoning' department, developing a prod...

How does this improve on AFS/OpenAFS?
If it's not open source, how can you hope to verify that it's secure?

I'm using this and I don't like the fact that it's commercial/closed source, but it's still free, and I think it's the best thing around for exchanging things with friends. And it works perfect on linux. Can you share specific things with specific people on freenet? Or just backup your stuff only for yourself? Please let me know..

In the end, it doesn't really make anything easier -- people just use it to say they use it. It's a status thing.

What do you mean? For me it's very useful.

this misses the point. there is no such concept of "a copy" in this network - at least not in a sense visible to the user. copies of the various packets are sent and purged based on demand.
