Advantages of Miria with Storj 

The combination of Miria and Storj provides complete flexibility for cloud management at a competitive cost. Miria handles data archiving and organization from primary storage to the Storj cloud S3 infrastructure; large data sets can be hosted, stored, replicated, and recovered at any time through Storj's platform.

Security integrations in Miria ensure that data on Storj is kept safe, while metadata archives allow large datasets to be easily accessible and manageable. Manual and automatic archiving capabilities in Miria simplify access and economize storage costs. Miria meets any requirements: data volumes, different file sizes and formats, storage technologies, and workflows.

Integration

Miria integrates with Storj cloud storage through the S3 protocol. The Miria server orchestrates the Miria data movers, which integrate with Storj through the S3 protocol. On the other end, any other storage platform also integrates with the data movers, thus integrating data movement and management from heterogenous sources. The Miria solution is fully scalable - simply add another Miria Data mover as needed.

To integrate Miria with Storj, you will need to create S3 credentials for Miria in Storj and pass them to the Miria server through the Miria web interface.

Requirements

  • An active Storj account
  • A bucket for Miria in your Storj instance
  • An instance of Miria 2021 or newer
  • Access to the Miria Web UI

    • Enter a new passphrase: use this option, if you would like to provide your own new encryption phrase
    • Generate 12-word passphrase: use this option, if you would like to generate a new encryption phrase
