Spheron (previously ArgoApp) has big aspirations targeting the multi-billion-dollar Data Storage industry

5 min readJul 14, 2021

Statistics from Markets and Markets reveal that by 2025, the data storage industry will be worth over $137B. Innovators are banking on the inevitable rise in the sector’s value based on prevailing market factors that support cloud storage adoption. Spheron (previously ArgoApp) is among the key players providing strategic cloud-related services to anticipate the growing demand for innovative cloud solutions.

Pushing cloud storage adoption services is the digitization of information and services in various industries. Another critical factor is the emergence and growing use of IoT devices, all of which point towards a future with increased demand for data storage

Unfortunately, most existing cloud service providers are centralized with inherent flaws that prevent tamper-proof, censorship-free delivery of cloud services — fortunately, Spheron (previously ArgoApp) is here to adequately fill up the current market gap.

A platform for tailored cloud demands

In the current cloud services market, Spheron (previously ArgoApp) arguably has the best fundamentals moving forward. Our platform provides a unique experience for users with assured uptime, immutable storage, and censorship-resistant deployment, all at a reasonable one-time fee. These services are currently giving Spheron (previously ArgoApp) a taste of the billion-dollar data storage industry.

Because of the many unique demands by clients, our innovation sought to provide cloud hosting services by utilizing existing decentralized cloud storage platforms. Our blend of service providers is individually gifted in a specific cloud storage area, thus providing suitable solutions in a dynamic market. By combining their services via our front-end application, we can adequately serve the market.

For instance, some clients require long-term storage, while others are interested in short-term storage solutions. These are offered at different price points by different specialized platforms such as Arweave and Skynet. Through our platform, clients can access both services under the Spheron (previously ArgoApp) banner, enhancing efficiency in cloud service provision.

Web Deployment through just a few clicks

As aforementioned, markets are becoming digitized, especially in the wake of life-changing events like the global pandemic. Web applications are becoming crucial points for interaction between trading parties. This requires 100% uptime to ensure access by buyers and sellers for satisfactory service delivery. At Spheron (previously ArgoApp) , we assure our clients of 24/7 uptime.

Web deployment over our services is also straightforward. We only require you to link your GitHub repository to our services, configure your settings, and deploy your web app. The payment solutions are service-dependent and flexible.

For example, our payment smart contract for web deployment is based on build time. The longer one takes in building the website, the higher the charges accrued. It also considers the charges by our cloud storage service providers, such as Arweave. If the service provider lacks fees for their services, then those fees are not considered.

Industry-ready solutions on hand

In our latest Spheron (previously ArgoApp) V2 update, we further enhanced our services, targeting large organizations. We’ve now implemented the following improvements:

Improved web deployment services.
Better scaling and enhanced deployment markers to track deployment errors.
Upgraded management tools for large organizations.
Payment solutions for working teams.
Augmented tools for global censorship resistance.

We recently also moved our contract deployment to Polygon, which offers minimal gas fees and high TPS for a better platform experience.

So, what does this mean for the industry?

An organization dealing with IoT devices offering services to different industries can utilize our Default Subdomain feature to cater to diverse industries. Each industry can have its dedicated web app placed under the parent organization.

A similar scenario can be applied to different companies that may be working towards achieving a similar goal. The various facets from these companies can be grouped under their shared affiliation, with each one of them receiving their dedicated subdomain for their work. In an ideal scenario, even governments can offer their services via our cloud service solution. All government departments can create their dedicated subdomains.

Regarding payment, we recently upgraded our payment options to cater to organization-level demands, thus making it easier to handle such complex payment options. For instance, in the government scenario, the client may choose to pay for each service requested or have each government department pay for their services individually. This is made possible through an organizational-level wallet.

For changing cultures due to globalization, our platform offers an unbiased channel to host applications regardless of the laws and restrictions in a jurisdiction. For instance, countries like China dictate the type of content their population consumes, barring any content that does not conform to government regulation, even from within their population. Spheron (previously ArgoApp) provides a means of immutably hosting data that could potentially be censored by taking a decentralized form of management. No one is singly accountable for the platform’s decision, thus removing a target for governing bodies.

Our achievable targets

We are constantly improving to compete on a global scale. Aside from the listed upgrades, we are also fine-tuning our V2 testnet as we make forward steps to compete at a worldwide scale. We are confident that our creative solutions can challenge the status quo in various industries, including:

Manufacturing
Supply Chain
Logistics
Medical
Pharmaceutical

By supporting collaborative endeavors and providing affordable front-end cloud solutions, we can slice a fine piece of the billion-dollar cloud storage industry pie!
