Project description
A new kind of compact data storage memory
Data is all around us. It is pervasive and plentiful. All aspects of life are increasingly dependent on data. Governments, business ventures, public utility services and citizens are storing data. As a consequence, there is a growing need to enhance the robustness of data storage systems. This need has led to the development of digital and cloud-based innovations but demand exists for even better data storage systems. The EU-funded MAGIC-SWITCH project will create a new type of compact data storage memory at an industrial-relevant level. It will build a prototype, standardising the manufacturing process and creating a business case for commercial exploitation.
Objective
We are living in a world that is increasingly driven by data. Governments, healthcare facilities, commercial businesses and individuals are all storing information in electronic form. This has led to the emergence of digital and cloud-based technologies. The ability to use information more efficiently has resulted in a rapid increase of the value of information. However, with the Big Data revolution, information is facing new challenges. Energy efficiency during writing of magnetic information needs to be improved. Thus, enhancing robustness in data storage systems is one of the major challenges in our modern society. Our vision for the near future is to turn the scientific output of the ERC Consolidator SPIN-PORICS into a new type of storage memory. MAGIC-SWITCH will deliver the prototype and business case for a new type of compact storage memory, at an industrial-relevant scale. The specific goal of this PoC project is to take the initial steps towards this vision by building a prototype (moving from Technology Readiness Level TRL 3 to 5), standardizing its manufacturing process and creating a business case for its commercial exploitation (including a pitch that can be used to close new partnerships or in fund-raising).
