Enterprise allocations are tailored for businesses and applications that require high performance, scalability, and customization in terms of availability and data control.
This feature utilizes enterprise blobbers and supports S3 setup workflows, enabling unlimited file storage with a fast query rate of less than 100 milliseconds for billions of files.
Unlimited Files and File Size: Enterprise allocations support an unlimited number of files and file sizes, making them ideal for large datasets or applications with extensive storage needs.
High Performance: Optimized for fast data access, with sub-100 millisecond performance.
Permissioned Blobbers: Requires the use of permissioned blobbers, which are vetted storage providers within the Züs network, ensuring higher reliability and meeting stringent compliance requirements.
Data Control and Availability: Enterprise users can easily add or replace blobbers, manage data shards, and configure redundancy to guarantee nearly 100% uptime.
Security and Compliance: Enterprise allocations can be made immutable, ensuring that stored data cannot be altered and that they are backed by robust split-key and data fragmentation technology for enhanced security.
Ideal for: Organizations that need a high degree of control over their data, require maximum performance and availability, and are storing mission-critical or sensitive information.

Before creating an enterprise allocation, you must get permission from the Enterprise Blobbers by contacting Züs on the Discord Blimp channel.
After confirming allocation details, you will be prompted to select storage providers (blobbers). By default, blobbers are selected based on geodiversity. However, you can manually choose up to 5 sharded blobbers (data + parity).
Click on the Add button next to the provider of your choice.
To view more details, click on the provider’s information.
Skip Option: If no manual selection is required, click on Skip to proceed with the default blobbers.
After selecting providers, you will be directed to the payment window. Click on the Pay with USD button to proceed. There is an option of cancellation as well.
Once you click on Pay with USD, a stripe payment link will be generated.
Review the payment details, including the allocation cost.
Enter your payment information (credit card or other supported methods).
Confirm the payment by clicking on Pay.
After payment, you will see a confirmation popup of Purchase Successful!
On the Enterprise Allocation page, your newly created allocation will be listed with the following details:
Allocation Type: Enterprise.
