Data center Mega barely copes with the load

Yesterday at about 10:00 pm Moscow time, the Mega cryptohosting opened for everyone . From the first minutes, a stream of users rushed at him. “I have never seen anything like it, ” Kim Dotcom writes , “filling the channel in ten minutes from zero to 10 Gbit / s.”

In the first hour, more than 100 thousand users registered on the site. “The most successful startup in the history of the Internet?” Kim Dotcom joked about this on Twitter. Two hours after launch, the site reached 250 thousand registered users. Now he works intermittently. Even if you can go to it, then upload files there is difficult.

In any case, the launch of the project can be considered successful. Kim Dotcom woke up three hours ago - and immediately organized a press conference .

By the opening of the site, Kim Dotcom installed several server cabinets, full of hard drives filled to capacity. Each of these cabinets accommodates 720 terabytes.

A month before the opening , the installation of server cabinets began, about one per day, so it was planned to open a storage for 20 petabytes by the opening.

“We plan to fill in 20 petabytes per month for the first six months,” said Kim Dotcom. “And we expect significant growth when the Mega API comes onto the market.” Software interfaces for working with cloud hosting should significantly expand the use of this service, which is designed with infinite scalability.

“Mega will fill a huge vacuum. The demand for truly secure cloud storage and data transfer is very high. Over the next two years, Mega intends to take over the battle for online privacy through numerous innovations. All services, from VoIP to video broadcasting and social networks will be covered by partners through the Mega API. Power to the people! ”Said Kim Dotcom.
