Why SeaweedFS Enterprise Erasure Coding?
SeaweedFS Enterprise introduces customizable Erasure Coding (EC) ratios, providing superior flexibility and performance compared to traditional implementations.
- High Performance (O(1) Disk Seek): 1GB block size ensures single-shard reads
- No Read Amplification: Large shards mean more data shards don’t slow reads
- Cost Efficiency: Custom ratios (e.g., 20+4) reduce overhead to 1.2x vs 3x for replication

Why Self-Healing Storage?
SeaweedFS Enterprise automatically detects and removes corrupted data entries after unexpected server shutdowns or hardware failures.

Future Enterprise Features
We are continuously working to enhance SeaweedFS Enterprise. Planned future features include:
- Bitrot Detection and Fix: Proactive scanning and repair of silent data corruption.
- Rich Lifecycle Rules: Advanced policies for data tiering and expiration.
Note: If your enterprise license expires, SeaweedFS will automatically fall back to the open source implementation. Your data remains accessible, but the self-healing features will be disabled.
