ATLANTA, May 16, 2024 ~ Storj, a leading innovator in the cloud storage market, has recently been recognized by Fast Company, Plexus Information Services, Inc and Omidyar Network for its transformative cloud object storage innovation. This recognition solidifies Storj's position as a game-changer in the industry.
The company's unique distributed solution is disrupting the $100 billion cloud storage market by offering up to 90% lower costs and 90% less carbon emissions for its customers. With data storage becoming a major contributor to carbon emissions, Storj's founder Shawn Wilkinson saw the urgent need for a new approach. He believed that the greenest data center is one that doesn't require mining materials, building, operating, cooling and maintaining. With this in mind, Storj developed an unprecedented distributed solution that not only delivers speed, scalability, security and reliability but also prioritizes sustainability.
Storj's innovative approach has earned them a spot on Fast Company's 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards list. This prestigious award recognizes organizations that are making a positive impact on the world through their creative projects and initiatives. The winners were chosen by a panel of Fast Company editors and reporters from over 1,300 entries across various categories such as climate change, social justice, wellness and technology.

Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company, was impressed by the global reach of this year's honorees. He stated that it is inspiring to see how people from all over the world are coming together to find solutions to some of our most challenging problems.
In addition to this recognition, Storj was also included in The Black Tech Effect Top 100 list which celebrates the success of promising Black-led tech companies while acknowledging the challenges faced by the Black tech ecosystem. This achievement highlights Storj's commitment to diversity and inclusion as its board and executive teams are composed of over two-fifths women or underrepresented people of color. The company also has employees from five continents and over 13 countries.
Katherine Johnson, Storj's Chief Legal Officer, expressed her pride in the company's values-driven approach. She stated that the recognition for their world-changing technology and impact on the Black-led technology ecosystem is a testament to Storj's commitment to authenticity and transparency.

Storj's success is not limited to recognition and awards. The company has recently validated its S3 compatible cloud storage with leading backup and recovery providers such as Commvault, Rubrik, Bacula, and Veeam. It has also partnered with over 25 new technology partners and signed agreements with more than 20 channel distributors and resellers in response to the growing demand for cloud object storage.
Colby Winegar, Storj's Chief Revenue Officer, believes that their team's continuous efforts to improve performance and security have made them a formidable competitor to first-generation hyperscalers like Amazon at a fraction of the cost.
Storj's commitment to innovation, sustainability, diversity, and transparency has earned them well-deserved recognition from industry leaders. As they continue to disrupt the cloud storage market with their unique distributed solution, it is clear that Storj is paving the way for a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable future in data storage.
