Rent-a-Node™ FAQs

Answer: Rent-a-Node™ is the world’s-first proprietary platform that decentralizes and democratizes AI, compute, and storage – fundamentally changing the economics of how customers leverage the public cloud. 

Rent-a-Node™ enables revolutionary new revenue streams for service providers (Rent-a-Node™ Operators, RNOs) and significant savings for software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies on their hosting services (“Tenants”, Rent-a-Node™ Cloud, RNCs).

Answer: RNOs can repurpose underutilized real estate assets and gain a predictable revenue stream from day 1, by fulfilling the demand for data center resources.

RNOs purchase Symbiote® based Pizza™ 1U platforms from Cachengo®. RNOs provide climate-controlled environments, reliable power, fast internet, and Cachengo® installs the system on location. It’s really that simple!

Answer: Anyone who has underutilized real estate can become a Rent-a-Node™ Operator (RNOs). Available commercial real estate, agricultural facilities, and vacant retail locations are examples that can be used by RNOs.

Answer: Rent-a-Node™ Cloud Tenants (RNCs) are SaaS providers that would like to use Rent-a-Node™ to reduce their software hosting costs by 70% to 90%, compared to traditional cloud service providers.

These RNCs also benefit by avoiding expenses associated with purchasing their own servers, GPUs, and storage infrastructure. By using Rent-a-Node™, they only pay for resources they use.

Answer: RNOs can realize up to 5X+ rental income profitability compared to traditional compute and GPU architecture rentals from cloud service providers.

By using Knowhere™, an easy-to-use infrastructure management and marketplace portal, RNOs can offer Symbiote® nodes for rent to RNCs.

For RNCs, renting Symbiote® based infrastructure nodes to host their software applications can result in a 70% – 90% reduction in hosting costs, compared to traditional cloud service providers.

Additionally, there’s zero data egress charges with Rent-a-Node™, further improving profitability for RNCs.

Answer: They will use Knowhere™, an easy-to-use infrastructure management and marketplace portal.

RNOs can offer Symbiote® nodes for rent to RNCs. RNCs can then rent Symbiote® nodes and select the software applications they need.

Answer: Email the service desk [email protected] and Cachengo® will open a request with the software application vendor. Delivery will be dependent on the 3rd party vendor.

Answer: Cachengo® provides enhanced data security and governance with our Hive Connect peer-to-peer network architecture, making data breaches virtually impossible.

Additionally, Symbiote® nodes will only share data within a peer group, isolating data only to those that have access rights to the nodes.

Answer: Rent-a-Node™ minimizes data latency challenges by having RNOs geographically located where their nodes for rent are available.
