The LiveWall storage system

How does LiveWall store your photos and videos? And how do we make sure they're safe?

At LiveWall, we understand that your photos and videos aren't just files – they're your precious memories. That's why we've built a sophisticated storage system that ensures your content is not only safe but also instantly accessible wherever you are in the world.

Storage system

Global Distribution for Lightning-Fast Access

We use Azure Blob Storage with Local-Redundant Storage (LRS) across strategic locations worldwide. When you upload a photo or video to LiveWall, our smart routing system automatically stores it in the datacenter closest to you. As shown in the map above, we've carefully selected our storage locations to minimize latency and provide the fastest possible access to your content.

Triple Redundancy for Peace of Mind

Every single file you upload to LiveWall is automatically stored in triplicate within its designated datacenter. This means that even if multiple storage drives fail simultaneously, your memories remain safe and accessible. For our premium users, we go a step further by maintaining an additional backup copy in a geographically separate location, providing an extra layer of protection against regional disasters. This cold backup location is operated inside its own security perimeter and behind a time-lock, adding an extra layer of security.

Security First

Your memories deserve bank-grade security. That's why we:

  • Encrypt all files both in transit and at rest
  • Offer optional end-to-end encryption for an extra layer of security for Premium users
  • Use secure access tokens for every file request
  • Regularly audit our security systems
  • Maintain strict access controls and operational procedures

Smart Performance Optimization

Our system continuously monitors access patterns and automatically optimizes storage distribution. If you frequently access your content from a different region, LiveWall will intelligently replicate your most-viewed files to the nearest datacenter, ensuring consistently fast load times through our content delivery network.

Built for Scale

Whether you're storing a few hundred photos or a lifetime of memories, our storage architecture is designed to scale seamlessly. The distributed nature of our system means we can easily expand capacity while maintaining the same high performance you expect from LiveWall.

Your memories are irreplaceable

Your memories are irreplaceable, and we've built our storage system to reflect that reality. With LiveWall, you can trust that your photos and videos are protected by industry-leading technology while remaining instantly accessible whenever and wherever you want to relive those special moments.
