Objective
Our digital society generates enormous amounts of data at an ever growing speed. Most of these data are cold, which means they never change and are rarely retrieved. Storing these data consumes a lot of energy and requires hardware replacement every 3-5 years.
Therefore, we have developed cerabyte, a novel cold data storage technology, which stores data on ceramic nanolayers enabling an unlimited timespan. Cerabyte outperforms these mature technologies by leveraging ceramic nano-layers in combination with a massive parallel laser writing and reading mechanism. Once data are written, no energy is needed to maintain the data for a long lifespan, which leads to savings of up to 99% of energy and CO2 emissions, as well as 95% of total cost of ownership (TCO). Cerabyte will offer data storage systems which are fully compliant with current data center standards and easy to integrate for business customers into their data storage architecture. This will disrupt the data storage component market with a market size of €41.6 bn in 2022 growing to €136.9 bn in 2030.
Cerabyte has established a new value chain together with international manufacturing partners and reached TRL6 with the launch of a fully functional demo-system in October 2023 located in Aachen, Germany. The demo system has been recently validated by the US National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine Rapid Expert Consultation on Archival Data Storage Technologies for the Intelligence Community in January 2024.
Our base patent for ceramic data carriers was granted in record time in EU, USA, RUS, AUS, CAN, PRC, TW, SK, JP and IN covering 77% global GDP – 67,5% smartphone & 49% global population. By combining our extensively patented technology with already existing robotic storage systems we will be able to disrupt the €50 bn data storage infrastructure market.
