“NodeShift Takes on Hyperscalers with Revolutionary Decentralized Cloud Solution”
When the large cloud providers have excess compute capacity, they tend to discount it through programs like AWS’s and Azure’s spot instances.
While in the recovery room, Surkov shared his idea for a company that would make this excess data center capacity available to developers.
Because of his experience with networking at Cisco and decentralized systems in crypto, Surkov had become interested in why there is so much friction in using decentralized compute.
In addition to these decentralized projects, NodeShift has also set up deals with independent data center operators.
Just on the data center side, the company says, it currently has access to about 400,000 CPUs and 28 million terabytes of storage.
