How it works
Sustainable by design.
Storj slashes carbon emissions by leveraging unused hard drive space and reducing the need to replicate data for performance and durability.
As countries begin to require that companies report their carbon impact, customers all over the world trust Storj to help meet their sustainability objectives.
“We need to think differently about technology usage. The old maxim of reduce, reuse, and recycle remains relevant today and can be applied to IT operations. Organizations must question how efficiently they use technology. To truly reduce carbon impact, IT organizations need to tap into more efficient and sustainable ways to source the technology needed to run the business.”
