Abstract :
VDrive works on the baseline model of Storage-as-a-Service (SaaS), with an infrastructure built on volunteer computing. The project gives a model for storing user data as decentralized packets on nodes on the network. The model proposes a solution with redundant data to provide an efficient model, with maximum availability.
