How Hivenet and Inria are creating a sovereign cloud to ensure digital human rights
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Inria, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology, to create a cutting-edge technology that empowers individuals and businesses with control over their data through a sovereign, peer-to-peer cloud.
A strategic partnership to design a peer-to-peer cloud
This strategic partnership, which will last for four years, combines the expertise of Inria’s project-teams with our team here at Hivenet to address several technological barriers identified in the development of a peer-to-peer cloud.
Among the topics addressed in this challenge: the large-scale optimization of data placement and repair in a peer-to-peer network. This challenge will associate, along with the Hivenet teams, three Inria project-teams working respectively on the definition of methods and techniques for building trusted collaborative applications, on the design and implementation of autonomous distributed systems and on the design of distributed systems.
After several conclusive research missions, Hivenet and Inria have sealed this partnership to support a common objective: creating a cutting-edge technology that is accessible to all and sustainable.
A virtuous public/private alliance
In this partnership, the commitment and benefits are mutual. On the one hand, it will enable Inria, which is also co-piloting the PEPR* Cloud with the CEA, to intensify its work on decentralized clouds, to confront them with a concrete implementation, and thus to increase its impact thanks to this partnership with Hivenet. On the other hand, Hivenet will be able to benefit from the expertise of public research through Inria to accelerate its developments and offer the public a new data storage tool that escapes centralized clouds by 2023.
"I am very happy to see this partnership start. I've been in close contact with the French government for several years now, and I deeply believe in the virtue of pooling private and public intelligence to achieve a technological objective that is as ambitious as it is essential. We are going to build a sovereign cloud, capable of competing with the historical cloud providers and guaranteeing digital human rights" says David Gurlé, founder of Hivenet.
Inria is inaugurating its first challenge with a technology startup with the involvement of three project teams, each with complementary expertise, who will work closely with Hivenet's teams to develop a product featuring a novel technology. Hivenet is making a significant investment in this partnership, with 8 PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and engineers will be recruited within the 3 Inria project teams. The first results are expected from the beginning of 2024.
"The partnership with Hivenet is a good example of the partnerships that Inria forms with technology startups that have an ambition, here for the conception and deployment of peer-to-peer clouds. I am pleased that we are moving forward, through an Inria Challenge, with the company founded by David Gurlé, to accelerate their design roadmap. It is also a great opportunity to jointly mobilize the complementary expertise of several joint project teams with our partners, notably the University of Rennes 1 and the University of Lorraine, for greater impact."
Bruno Sportisse, President and CEO of Inria
