We ensure you can access your data anywhere, anytime, despite technical issues

How does it work?

Technical issues are a fact of life. Hard disks fail on a daily basis. Sometimes, an entire server goes down, and despite the best efforts of our datacentre operators and fibre carriers, power outages and fibre cuts happen more often than not. But, it’s our job to ensure you can access your data whenever you want, even if an entire country we’re hosted in goes offline.

Significantly low downtime

We provide reliable access to our services by ensuring our servers experience the lowest downtime. We’re available over 99.9% of the time, and when we’re not, your data is safe and secure with us and you can access them after the downtime period.

CloudRAID

We use CloudRAID (Redundant Array of Independent Datacentres) technology. This means we split each file into roughly equal-sized parts and store each part in a different country. We also create a part which contains rules about how the file could be reconstructed, and store it in yet another country. This technology makes it possible to reconstruct the file if one part is unavailable due to, for example, a blackout. Also, thanks to our unique on-the-fly transfer processing engine, to reconstruct the file, your MEGA won’t wait to receive all the parts from the datacentres (even when they’re all available), but will reassemble your file from all minus 1 parts that it receives the fastest. For example, if your file is split into 5 parts plus 1 part with reconstruction rules (6 in total), your MEGA will rebuild the file as soon as it receives any 5 of the 6 parts.

MEGA operates CloudRAID datacentres in Luxembourg, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Canada, and soon in Sweden.
