ERPC Launches Global Distributed Storage "ERPC Global Storage" — Full Linux Environment Backup in a Single Command, a Safe Operations Foundation for the AI Agent Era

ERPC, operated by ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Amsterdam) and Validators DAO, is pleased to announce the launch of ERPC Global Storage, a globally distributed object storage service.

ERPC Global Storage lets you upload, store, and download arbitrary files, as well as back up your entire Linux environment in a single command via the SLV CLI. Pricing starts at €1/month per 5 GB of storage and 1,000 queries, and scales flexibly as needed.

ERPC Global Storage Overview

Cloud Storage — Distributed Object Storage Accessible from Anywhere

ERPC Global Storage is a globally distributed object storage service spanning five regions: EU, Asia, US East, US West, and Oceania. Backups, snapshots, configuration files, and more can be managed directly from the SLV CLI.

Upload, download, list, delete — every operation completes in a single SLV CLI command. By specifying a region at upload time, you can access the nearest storage location from anywhere in the world. Backups and snapshots can also be distributed across different regions for geographic redundancy.

Full Linux Environment Backup — Fast and Compact with zstd Compression

One of the core features of ERPC Global Storage is full Linux environment backup — covering the OS, configuration, and user data. It uses zstd multi-threaded compression to create fast and compact archives. All data needed to resume operation in an equivalent Linux environment after restoration is stored together.

A single SLV CLI command completes the entire workflow, from creating the environment archive to uploading it to ERPC Global Storage.

Cron scheduling is supported, allowing you to configure automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. By setting a retention period (default: 7 days), old backups are automatically cleaned up. Once configured, backups are continuously maintained with no additional operational overhead.

Restoration is also a single command. You can restore from a local file or download directly from cloud storage and restore in one step.

Speed as the Primary Requirement — but Data Loss Is Not Acceptable

Pursuing Speed and Operational Safety Are Not Mutually Exclusive

ERPC is a Solana platform designed with speed as its primary requirement. Thorough elimination of power-saving and performance-throttling features, adoption of latest-generation hardware, and optimization across every layer — everything is engineered to achieve maximum speed in an environment where every millisecond counts.

However, prioritizing speed does not mean accepting data loss.

In our recent VPS Performance Boost release, we wrote: "We plan to release a new feature in the near future that will enable hands-free node backup via SLV." ERPC Global Storage is the fulfillment of that promise.

In the AI Agent Era, Environment Safety Becomes a Prerequisite

Development powered by AI agents — including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Codex — is becoming mainstream. AI agents write code, run tests, and deploy — the pace of development is accelerating like never before.

But the faster development moves, the more valuable the environment itself becomes. A development environment built alongside AI agents is not merely a collection of code. Dependencies, configuration files, runtime environments, local data — everything operates in a tightly coupled state. Losing this environment is more damaging than losing the code alone.

Now that AI-agent-driven development is rapidly expanding, it is time to stop treating backup as something only experienced operators can manage, and transform it into something anyone can sustain continuously. ERPC Global Storage was designed from this conviction.

The Risk of Operating Without Backup

Everyone wants to keep backups of their servers. But actually setting up that infrastructure takes effort.

Provision storage for backups. Since storing backups on the same server is never acceptable, build a pipeline to remote storage. Choose a compression method, configure automated schedules, manage retention periods — the effort of assembling this pipeline from scratch has been pushing backup to the back burner.

Blockchain development in particular is directly connected to finance, and hacking and vulnerability incidents occur on a daily basis. Operating without backup leaves you defenseless against hardware failure, operational errors, security incidents, and other risks that can strike at any time. Building a safe operational foundation is just as important as pursuing speed.

SLV + ERPC Global Storage Solves This

The combination of SLV and ERPC Global Storage solves this problem in a single command.

Backups are instantly created and saved to the cloud via the SLV CLI. Restoration pulls directly from cloud storage. There is no need to separately provision backup storage. There is no need to build your own pipeline.

With cron-based automatic backup, backups are created on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, and archives exceeding the retention period are automatically deleted.

Regardless of expertise, safe operation becomes the default — this is the design purpose of SLV and ERPC Global Storage.

Pricing

ERPC Global Storage is priced at €1/month per 5 GB of storage and 1,000 queries. Simply add units to scale — for example, 50 GB with 10,000 queries is €10/month, and 100 GB with 20,000 queries is €20/month.

Capacity can be upgraded or downgraded at any time, with Stripe handling prorated billing automatically. Scale up when you need more, scale down when you don't — a simple, pay-for-what-you-use pricing model.

Why We Build the Fastest Platform Ourselves

A Foundation You Can Rely On, on the Fastest Infrastructure

Even the fastest platform is meaningless if you cannot confidently keep your environment running on it. The risk of server failure, the absence of backup — these are barriers that prevent users from focusing on what the fastest environment has to offer.

ERPC Global Storage was designed to remove these barriers. Because backup and restoration are instantly available, users can focus on their operations with confidence. Adding operational peace of mind to the fastest infrastructure — that is the role of ERPC Global Storage.

Speed-First Configurations Are Not Naturally Provided by the General Market

In the general server market, stability, profitability, and standardization take priority, which means speed-first configurations are rarely offered by default. Without deep knowledge, it is difficult to accurately assess how much performance a server product is actually delivering — and unless you understand where performance throttling exists and what changes when you remove it, performance remains locked away.

ERPC integrates its Solana RPC platform with bare metal servers, VPS, Solana Shredstream, Solana Geyser gRPC, Unlimited Endpoints, and global storage — all within a single platform. Simply by deploying within the platform, you get the fastest communication path, a fully optimized configuration, Solana-specific tuning, and a backup foundation for safe ongoing operations — all from the start.

You can achieve the fastest environment without deep knowledge of data centers — this is ERPC's design philosophy, and the reason we continue to build our own platform.

SLV — A Solana Development Foundation for the AI Agent Era

SLV is an open-source Solana development tool designed to make safe operation the default, regardless of expertise.

SLV currently supports the setup, operation, and zero-downtime migration of major Solana validators and Solana RPC nodes, with all features MCP-compatible and accessible to AI agents. The backup and restore features that integrate with ERPC Global Storage are all available through the SLV CLI.

Going forward, SLV will continue to expand as an open-source tool for the AI agent era, supporting Solana dApp development and high-frequency trading application development via RPC. ERPC and SLV are platforms that continuously evolve across speed, safety, and usability.

Five Consecutive Years of WBSO Approval — R&D Results Directly Reflected in the Platform

ELSOUL LABO has been approved under the Dutch government's WBSO R&D support program for five consecutive years since 2022. The company continues its research into ultra-low-latency Solana RPC infrastructure and automation of validator placement and operational orchestration, with results directly reflected in platform performance improvements.

ERPC Global Storage and SLV's backup features are also a concrete realization of operational automation knowledge accumulated through this R&D. The results of R&D are cumulative, and ERPC continues to evolve not only in speed but also in operational capability.

The Next-Generation Option — AS200261 Solana-Optimized Data Center

ELSOUL LABO has been assigned its own ASN (AS200261) by RIPE NCC and is proceeding with the launch of a top-tier, Solana-optimized data center. Designed to surpass existing premium data centers as the highest-quality infrastructure available, it is expected to begin operations from the end of this month through next month.

The hardware configuration is unified around AMD EPYC 5th Gen, AMD Threadripper PRO 5th Gen (9975WX, etc.), and NVMe 5th Gen, combined with optimal network path design enabled by the company's own ASN. This delivers what was previously considered a trade-off — both performance and ASN concentration score — simultaneously.

The initial lot is sold out by reservation, but subsequent inventory will be offered in waitlist order.
