Data stored on Cerabyte’s system can survive nuclear war
In today’s digital age, businesses and individuals are generating and accumulating more data than ever before. However, the cost and relatively short-term lifespan of existing storage methods present significant concerns. Enter Cerabyte, a startup offering a low-cost, highly resilient solution with virtually unlimited lifespan – ceramic nanolayers.
Cerabyte likens its data storage method to the ancient Egyptians’ practice of chiseling hieroglyphs into rock and although there is still quite some way to go before the technology is widely available, the company has already transformed its initial proof of concept into a fully operational terabyte end-to-end demo system, using only commercial off-the-shelf components.
Cerabyte’s demo system comprises one read rack and several library racks. The storage media takes the form of a thin, single accessible square glass sheet (referred to as a platter or carrier) with a nanoscale dark ceramic layer stored in cartridges within a robotic library.
