Founded in 2016 by Co-CEOs Stefano Onofri and Alessandro Cillario, CTO Marco Moschettini, and Lorenzo Posani, PhD, Cubbit is a distributed cloud storage company that does not use centralized server farms. Instead, it enables distributed data centers that connect the Internet resources already present in homes and businesses. Its zero-knowledge technology guarantees privacy by design and its architecture protects the environment by reducing CO2 emissions thanks to the absence of large server farms.. During 2020, the company distributed its products to its first 3,500 customers in over 70 countries worldwide.
