The future of data storage might be ceramic glass that can last thousands of years | Cerabyte's ceramic glass storage endures boiling and baking in extreme durability tests
Cerabyte recently conducted an experiment that seemed more like a culinary exercise than a technology showcase. The German storage startup plunged a sliver of its archival glass...
Cerabyte's tests – including boiling the media in salt water for days (long enough to corrode the kettle itself) and baking it at high heat – were designed to underscore this resilience. The company's roadmap includes glass slides and CeraTape, a tape format with exabyte-scale capacity designed to integrate with existing robotic library systems. Unlike other archival methods – magnetic tape, hard drives, or even optical discs, all of which degrade over decades – Cerabyte's ceramic-on-glass approach promises to eliminate the need for regular data migration or energy-hungry maintenance.
