iPRES 2024: Cerabyte Ceramic Storage

In extreme durability

Cerabyte GmbH, the pioneer of ceramic-based storage solutions, announced its participation in a unique product Bake-Off at the International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES), September 16-20 in Ghent and Flanders, Belgium. During the demo session, “Century Scale Data Storage”, the company will showcase the sustainability and long-term potential of its ceramic data archival system.

Cerabyte Ceramic Storage

Company’s disruptive media technology will undergo a series of extreme durability tests. It will be submerged in boiling water and baked in a hot pizza oven. Afterward, the accessible permanent data will be read from the flexible glass material using a handheld digital microscope, with the results projected onto a monitor. The stored data, encoded as QR codes, will also be available for the audience to scan using smartphones. The demonstration showcases the product’s resilience, reliability, and ability to maintain data integrity under harsh conditions.

Due to its media longevity and rapid access, Cerabyte’s storage solution significantly lowers the TCO for data centers by an order of magnitude due to its cost-effectiveness. Information is stored as physical bits on recyclable ceramic-on-glass sheets, capable of preserving data indefinitely without requiring any energy source. With a zero-power footprint, this technology is immune to bit rot, maintaining data integrity even in extreme conditions.

The Digital Preservation bakeoff offers seasoned and emerging tool developers a platform to demonstrate the impact and usefulness of digital preservation tools in a lively and engaging environment. IPRES is the premier and longest-running conference series on digital preservation. Since 2004, the annual iPRES conferences in rotation around the globe on 4 continents bring together a strong community of scientists, students, researchers, archivists, librarians, providers and other experts to share recent developments, innovative projects and solve problems collaboratively.
