The document proposes a distributed cloud storage system called D.I.S.CLOUD that uses peer-to-peer networking instead of a client-server model. This would address issues with current cloud storage services related to privacy, ownership of data, and dependency on single providers. The system would store data across multiple user nodes rather than centralized servers. The pitch outlines problems with existing cloud storage, the proposed solution, potential competitors, a business model, roadmap, financial projections, team, and plans for fundraising.

ACTUAL OPPORTUNITY
CLOUD STORAGE
Today many people and company save their data in online storage
named cloud drive. Services like Dropobox, iCloud, SugarSync,
OneDrive, Google Drive, etc… offer a possibility to save our data
on remote server, for share end recover it in absolutely mobility.
D.I.S.CLOUD
The project goal is to realize a distributed cloud drive storage,
using peer to peer net, for create an virtual online hard drive. This
for builder an alternative to Client – Server paradigm, currently
widely used.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
PRIVACY
Our data is storage in one or more external server, not our.
D.I.S.CLOUD Privacy
The data is not storage in one or much server but in a cloud
of user nodes.
PROPERTY
The data is closely linked at the physical storage end
backup localization. Often it go beyond the national
border.
D.I.S.CLOUD Property
The data storage migrate from nodes to another in
anonymous, this ensure that property of data through the
owner encryption.
DEPENDENCY
Often the access to our data is closely connected to
service provider needed, which adopt a personal criteria
to manage data access.
D.I.S.CLOUD Dependency
The data don’t have a single access provider, but at the
independent swarm of nodes.
