SHANGHAI, March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Molecular Data
Inc. ("Molecular Data" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MKD), a leading
technology-driven platform in China's chemical industry, today announced
that following the collaboration with China's listed UCloud to further drive digital
transformation to upgrade the chemical, medical, and new materials
industries, Molecular Data has signed a 3 year IPFS (Interplanetary
File System) customized operational arrangement with an renowned
industry partner to gear up its data services.
Molecular Data is addressing the inadequacies faced in the
various industries including deploying Blockchain solutions
accordingly. Without IPFS, file storage costs and efficiency
remains high. As such, Molecular Data intends to tap on the merits
of IPFS such as decentralization of data; less costs, efficiency
and data security.
This move by Molecular Data follows the steps of global
giants in the storage space who have invested considerable
technology efforts in IPFS and related applications.
The strategic MOU will also help bring in the appropriate
technical providers needed in the upgrade, including maintenance
and technical services.
