About Cubbit
Cubbit is an Italian deep tech company that offers a unique geo-distributed cloud storage platform, serving as a sovereign European alternative to traditional centralized hyperscalers. Unlike standard cloud providers that store data in massive data centers, Cubbit's DS3 technology fragments, encrypts, and distributes data across a wide network of nodes. This architecture ensures that no single entity has access to the complete data set, providing inherent 'zero-knowledge' security and high levels of durability. The company focuses heavily on enabling B2B enterprises, service providers, and public administrations to maintain strict data residency and sovereignty. Through its DS3 Composer, organizations can build their own geo-distributed storage pools using a mix of on-premise hardware, edge locations, and existing cloud infrastructure. This approach reduces the 'data gravity' problem and helps European organizations comply with strict regulatory requirements while maintaining the performance and ease of use associated with S3-compatible object storage.
