The infrastructure of the crypto industry is joining forces with traditional giants to accelerate product development and optimize service experiences.
On January 31, decentralized cloud platform OORT announced a strategic partnership with Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX), a global leader in large-scale data storage infrastructure solutions. As an OORT Super Node, Seagate will join the OORT network, strengthening OORT’s integration of global computing and storage resources—a critical component for its AI-focused services.
With the rapid advancement of emerging technologies such as generative AI (AIGC), Web3, and the metaverse, explosive data growth is placing higher demands on infrastructure. The integration of Seagate’s Lyve Cloud services significantly enhances OORT’s storage capabilities, meeting the high data requirements of AI applications. Leveraging Seagate’s advanced solutions, OORTcan optimize costs, offer competitive pricing, and deliver seamless user experiences—crucial elements for its AI-centric decentralized cloud infrastructure.
As a decentralized cloud platform focused on high privacy and low cost, OORT leverages blockchain technology to aggregate idle computing and storage resources distributed globally, offering customers end-to-end AI solutions—from infrastructure to platform services—while enabling cost savings of up to 60%. Founded in 1979, Seagate Technology is the world's largest manufacturer of hard drives, disks, and read-write heads, and a U.S.-listed company with a market capitalization of just $2 billion.
OORT’s portfolio includes three flagship products: the generative AI assistant builder platform OORT AI, decentralized storage service OORT Storage, and decentralized computing service OORT Compute. OORT AI enables enterprises to seamlessly integrate accurate, multimodal, and data-secure intelligent assistants into their operations within minutes—no coding or AI expertise required. OORT Storage is a decentralized object storage service that provides secure data storage and retrieval anytime, anywhere. It is currently the only decentralized solution capable of matching AWS S3 in performance. OORT Compute is a low-cost, accessible decentralized computing service designed for decentralized data analysis and processing tasks such as large model training and fine-tuning, set to launch in 2024.
Currently, OORT has launched its mainnet, Olympus Protocol—an independently developed Layer 1 public chain based on DAG architecture—featuring over 28,000 nodes, a block time of just 2 seconds, low transaction fees, and a patented Proof of Honesty algorithm ensuring transparency and trust.
“Optimized mass data storage is key to any organization’s scalability. Seagate brings decades of expertise in managing high-capacity data storage, empowering organizations like OORT to deliver optimized AI solutions to their customers,” said Melyssa Banda, Vice President of Storage Solutions and Lyve Services at Seagate.
Sean Yang, Chief Technology Officer of OORT, stated: “Our collaboration with Seagate marks a significant step forward in enhancing our decentralized cloud services. Seagate’s advanced storage solutions help strengthen our AI service offerings and reinforce our commitment to privacy and operational efficiency.”
Prior to partnering with Seagate, OORT had already established business collaborations with tech giants including Tencent Cloud, Dell Technologies, and Lenovo Imaging. For instance, Dell and OORT jointly launched a new global loyalty program called Dell Rewards last year, which rolled out in Canada, the U.S., and Japan starting July. This global initiative integrates OORT Storage (formerly OORT DSS), providing Dell customers with decentralized storage services—including data storage and migration—bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 data services and allowing users to securely store, transfer, and retrieve data anytime, anywhere.
This latest collaboration provides a solid foundation for OORT to deliver practical, high-quality solutions aimed at transforming the decentralized cloud computing industry, paving the way for mainstream adoption of decentralized cloud infrastructure.
Beyond partnerships with industry leaders, OORT has also received broad support from industrial capital. Recently, OORT announced the completion of a new funding round, bringing its total funding to nearly $10 million. Investors include Taisu Ventures (the venture arm of Cardano, formerly Emurgo), Red Beard Ventures, Hike Ventures, Optic Capital, and backing from tech giants Microsoft and Google. Earlier, OORT was also funded by institutions such as Aves Lair, Trinity Venture Capital, LinkVC, Sanctor Capital, Waterdrip Capital, and Redline Labs.
Notably, OORT is building a rich ecosystem through strategic collaborations, including the upcoming launch of the OORT Earn program. Users will not only be able to stake OORT tokens and earn rewards but are also expected to receive airdrops from partners. Additionally, OORT has teased further announcements regarding new partners across areas such as IDOs, Launchpads, seamless cross-chain bridges, and DEXs. As these partnerships expand and the ecosystem flourishes, the convergence of crypto and AI technologies will benefit more users and businesses alike.
