While traditional data storage uses one organisation, decentralized storage stores data files across a world-wide distributed group of nodes connected via peer-to-peer (P2P) networking.

Decentralized storage represents a fundamental shift in how data is managed and stored. It minimizes the risk of a single point of failure, as data is distributed across multiple nodes. This makes it more resilient, reliable and has better gloabal avaliability against system failures than than centralized cloud storage.

Decentralized storage systems ensure redundancy, leading to higher availability and accessibility of information. Even if one node fails, the data remains accessible from other nodes.
