# Overview
|
|
|
|
NeoFS Nodes are organized in peer-to-peer network that takes care of storing and
|
|
distributing user's data. Any Neo user may participate in the network and get
|
|
paid for providing storage resources to other users or store his data in NeoFS
|
|
and pay a competitive price for it.
|
|
|
|
Users can reliably store object data in the NeoFS network and have a transparent
|
|
data placement process due to decentralized architecture and flexible storage
|
|
policies. Each node is responsible for executing the storage policies that the
|
|
users select for geographical location, reliability level, number of nodes, type
|
|
of disks, capacity, etc. Thus, NeoFS gives full control over data to users.
|
|
|
|
Deep [Neo Blockchain](https://neo.org) integration allows NeoFS to be used by
|
|
dApp directly from
|
|
[NeoVM](https://docs.neo.org/docs/en-us/basic/technology/neovm.html) on the
|
|
[Smart Contract](https://docs.neo.org/docs/en-us/basic/technology/neocontract.html)
|
|
code level. This way dApps are not limited to on-chain storage and can
|
|
manipulate large amounts of data without paying a prohibitive price.
|
|
|
|
NeoFS has native [gRPC](https://grpc.io) API and popular protocol gates such as
|
|
[AWS S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html),
|
|
[HTTP](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol),
|
|
[FUSE](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) and
|
|
[sFTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol) allowing
|
|
developers to easily integrate applications without rewriting their code.

# Supported platforms
|
|
|
|
For now we only support GNU/Linux on amd64 CPUs with AVX/AVX2 instructions. More
|
|
platforms will be officially supported after '1.0' release.
