Seagate’s CORTX Integration Challenge seeks to expand the possibilities of data by making it easier to move, store, and activate data at scale. Win the challenge – worth prizes up to $5,000 – by creating a working integration between CORTX and a platform or tool that deals with data at scale, and/or an integration with Filecoin or Chia.
CORTX is Seagate’s open-source mass capacity object storage system. By connecting CORTX to tools and systems used for data analytics and other data services, the integrations you build will ensure that the data generated by the data revolution can be harnessed to the full extent of its potential.
Participants can create integrations using either the S3 API or by connecting directly with Motr, the object store that powers CORTX. Learn more about this challenge by checking out the Resources tab.
