Cerabyte unveils plan for 100 petabyte glass-ceramic storage racks by 2030 | It's aiming for 100,000 PB by 2045


Speaking at the A3 Tech Live conference in Munich recently (via Blocks and Files), Cerabyte CMO and co-founder Martin Kunze talked more about the company's next-generation storage...

It encodes data by firing femtosecond lasers at a 500- to 100-atom-thick ceramic nanolayer on thin glass tablets, etching permanent nanodots that high-resolution cameras can read optically. Compared to the likes of Microsoft's Project Silica, Holomem, and DNA storage, Cerabyte says its technology offers benefits such as greater longevity, lower cost per TB, and faster access times. Earlier this year, Cerabyte showed how a sliver of its archival glass could survive being plunged into a kettle filled with boiling salt water and being roasted at 250°C (482°F) in a pizza oven.
