About Cyberize Home Cloud Network Storage Server

Ang Cyberize Home Cloud usa ka network storage server nga gidesinyo alang sa malamposon nga buhat sa balay. Ang datos gitipigan sa lokal ug gi-synchronize sa mga kompyuter ug mobile device, ug gisuportahan ang mga sistema sa Windows, Mac, Android, ug iOS. Ang lawas hinimo gikan sa aluminum alloy ug transparent nga polycarbonate, giproseso gamit ang CNC tools, gipasinaw, gi-anodize, ug gitapos gamit ang gradient nga coating. Ang porma naglangkob sa duha ka gitumpi nga kwadrado base sa golden ratio. Ang punoan nga bahin gibayaw 16 mm ibabaw sa nawong, nga naghatag og pagpabugnaw nga walay fan. Ang unit adunay sukod nga 160 kay 175 kay 77 mm.

Unique Properties: Faster speed, larger and cheaper storage space, smoother experience, and collaborative innovation have always been consumers' primary concerns.
Cyberize Home Cloud brings a brand-new data synchronization and collaboration experience to creators. It synchronizes and shares data on PCs and mobile phones in real-time at speed 10 times faster than the public cloud. As a home cloud, it perfectly supports various systems such as Windows/Mac/Android/iOS, and all data is stored locally, minimizing issues such as data privacy, subscription fees, or traffic costs. With multiple Cyberize devices, users can create a real-time remote collaboration cloud of their own.
Cyberize Home Cloud aims to create a productivity tool for creators nowadays by defining a new category. The team observed that digital technologies began penetrating scenarios since 2016 (the year smartphone sales peaked). A typical case is Tesla, which completely reshaped users' digital service experience in the car.
Home is the primary productivity scene for 86% of freelancers and creators-a place where routers have been providing network connections for over 30 years, similar to the Symbian era. The home cloud will change how everyone interacts and connects with the digital world/IoT devices. Cyberize Home Cloud starts with global creators and will be a symbolic product innovation pushing forward the home cloud category.
Dimensions & Packaging: Product size：160mm*175mm*77mm
Product packaging size：231mm* 222mm* 95mm
Cyberize home cloud naturally fulfills the data security demands of consumers. The HC system has a built-in open application center, which supports more than 50 system-level applications, meeting the needs of diverse scenarios such as downloading, 4K movie center, 24/7 data monitoring, OBS server, smart home, Minecraft Server, and Web3 asset management.

Production Technology: Based on Cloud-native and P2P technologies, Cyberize home cloud builds a private communication network between users, allowing users to safely and privately realize the needs of remote collaboration scenarios.
The aluminum alloy body and the transparent PC parts of Cyberize home cloud are processed by CNC high-precision machine tools, and then subjected to uniform 3D rotary polishing, and then the metal body is anodized, and the transparent PC is painted with gradient treatment.
The distance between the main body and the ground is 16mm, which has a good heat dissipation function, and is quiet and long-lived with extremely low energy consumption.
Design Challenge: The hardest part is the heat dissipation of the product. The properties of this product make the size of the components fixed, so there will be very large restrictions on the shape, and we intend to adopt a fanless cooling design to reduce the size of the product itself, so other cooling methods must be considered. We thinking of an excellent heat dissipation method, the main body is raised so that the distance between the main body and the ground is 16mm, and the heat dissipation effect is achieved by the way of leaving the ground.
Research: As American economist Jeremy Rifkin once proposed in American 3.0 and Industry 3.0, the data center of the future will be dispersed in various IoT devices. The insight behind it is that the distribution of computer computing power is iterated synchronously with the energy system. In the next decade, new digital service and management infrastructure built by the family cloud, combined with household solar energy production and storage, will significantly reduce the energy and network consumption of IDCs, and distributed energy and computing power will bring a greener and lower-cost Internet infrastructure.
At the same time, the contradiction between user data sovereignty and the capitalism of companies will naturally usher in a new balance.
We used exploratory and narrative studies. We searched the data of various networks, literature and periodicals, questionnaires and other forms. Check the information on the Upwork website, and we will also collect the information on CNKI, etc. We use the Questionnaire Star in WeChat to conduct a questionnaire survey. The participants were 25 to 45 years old with reasonable means, including computer geeks, designers, IT engineers, etc. the number of freelancers will reach 84.6M in 2027. Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they had a need to use their digital lives.
Inspiration: The population of the global freelance workforce has been proliferating. Upwork's 2022 Freelance Forward report shows that the number of non-temporary freelancers is expected to reach 84.6M in 2027, nearly 50% of the U.S. workforce. Cyberize Home Cloud is a hybrid solution that effectively meets the needs of consumers in creating, managing, collaborating, and entertaining digital assets in home scenarios. In an era when surveillance capitalism is still mainstream and consumer data are still being consumed, Cyberize Home Cloud provides a creative solution for consumers to better control, manage and share personal data between devices and social networks.
The design inspiration for Cyberize Home Cloud comes from the renowned Fallingwater. The overall shape comprises two squares interspersed and stacked with the golden ratio. In terms of material, aluminum alloy and transparent PC are selected to ensure the beauty of form and meet the functional requirements of heat dissipation; the product has been repeatedly adjusted to rounded corners to make the edges neat but not sharp; The transparent body is sprayed with gradient for artistic purpose and also provides more personalized combination with interchangeable accessories.
Project Duration: Incubated in Shanghai, China in 2022, the appearance design is in January 2022, which lasted for more than 3 months, and the production of the product is still in progress.
Operation Flow: To bring a simple, user-oriented, and unique data management experience, the team created a dedicated cloud system CasaOS.
1.Cross-platform synchronization and data sharing across PC and mobile devices at Gigabit Ethernet speed.
2.Mount Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive and cloud spaces, aggregate and manage your scattered data and save monthly fees.
3.Set up and remote access private cloud collaboration network.
4.USB-C port for 40Gbps high-speed read/write between MacBook/PC and workstations.
5.Support Apple Time Machine and version management.
6.Batch preprocessing of image and video assets to accelerate post-production workflow.
