Storage scalability is a critical factor for the growth of SMEs, especially as data rapidly increases and becomes more sensitive. Certiblok® addresses this problem by allowing transitions from a free plan to an enterprise plan without migrations, interruptions, or security risks.
Why storage scalability is a real problem for SMEs
Many SMEs start with simple, often free, storage solutions that work well in the initial stages. The problem emerges when data grows: more documents, more users, more need for control and security.
At this stage, companies often find themselves forced to:
migrate large volumes of data;
reconfigure permissions and processes;
temporarily halt operations;
face unexpected costs.
For an SME, these steps are not only complex but also risky. Every migration exposes data to potential errors, losses, or security vulnerabilities.
How Certiblok®'s scalable storage works
Certiblok® was designed with a storage architecture built to grow with the company. It's not about “adding space” later, but a natively scalable system based on decentralized cloud and blockchain.
Files are:
fragmented into 80 parts;
encrypted with AES 256;
distributed over a network of 26,000 nodes.
This approach allows storage to automatically adapt to increased data, without having to move or duplicate it. The structure remains the same, regardless of the chosen plan.
From free to enterprise: what really changes
One of the most tangible benefits for SMEs is the ability to grow without changing platforms. Upgrading from free to enterprise on Certiblok® requires no data migration.
What this means in practice:
same documents, same structure;
same sharing links;
total continuity for internal and external users.
Instead, the available functionalities change, such as:
greater storage capacity;
advanced permission management;
Audit Room and Edit Room;
complete control via DRM®.
This model eliminates one of the main obstacles to the digital growth of SMEs.
Storage, security, and data control for SMEs
When data becomes a strategic asset, it's not enough to store it: it must be protected and governed. Certiblok® combines scalable storage and advanced data control in a single platform.
Thanks to Document Relationship Management (DRM®), every file has a true “identity card” that includes:
owner;
versions;
expiration dates;
access logs;
active shares.
For SMEs, this means always having control over their data, even as the number of documents and users grows rapidly.
No migration, lower costs, more operational continuity
One of the most appreciated aspects by SMEs is cost predictability. Traditional storage migrations often involve hidden expenses: consulting fees, downtime, staff training.
With Certiblok®:
no migration projects are needed;
there are no operational stoppages;
the infrastructure remains unchanged over time.
Growth becomes gradual, sustainable, and plannable:
Free Plan: 50Mb, basic collaboration, document LOG, ...ideal for startups.
Professional Plan: 500Mb, 5 audit rooms, 200 DWG, DXF, STL files with preview, ...ideal for professional studios.
Business Plan: 1TB, 180 days trash recovery, 10 users, 2 administrators, desktop synchronization ...ideal for SMEs.
Enterprise Plan: 4TB, basic collaboration, unlimited Audit Rooms, 40 users,... ideal for structured companies
True scalability is not just a matter of space, but of continuity, security, and data control. Certiblok® offers SMEs storage designed to support business growth, from the first uploaded file to complex enterprise scenarios, without ever having to migrate data.
In a context where security and resilience are crucial, choosing a natively scalable platform means investing today in the peace of mind of tomorrow.
