Cerabyte Joins the Active Archive Alliance
BOULDER, Colo. – July 22, 2024 – The Active Archive Alliance today announced that Cerabyte, the pioneer of ceramic-based data storage solutions, has joined the organization. The Active Archive Alliance is a collaboration of industry-leading storage systems and software vendors that collectively support the use of active archive solutions for data lifecycle management.
“We are pleased to welcome Cerabyte to the Active Archive Alliance,” said Rich Gadomski, co-chairperson of the Active Archive Alliance and head of tape evangelism at FUJIFILM North America Corp., Data Storage Solutions. “In this era of explosive data growth and the impact of AI/ML, the demand for active archive solutions is more critical than ever. Cerabyte’s cutting-edge, ceramic-based data storage technology aligns perfectly with our mission of providing sustainable, cost-effective strategies to address data growth challenges now and in the future.”
An active archive enables organizations to build intelligent on-line and easily accessible archival storage systems that combine disk, flash, tape, optical, cloud, or new emerging technologies such as long-term silicate glass media from companies like Cerabyte. With intelligent data management, these flexible active archiving systems enable users to access, manage, and derive value from rapidly growing archives cost-effectively and energy-efficiently.
Cerabyte uses laser-etched ceramic on glass to produce archival data storage systems. These systems provide accessible and sustainable long-term storage solutions for digital record preservation. Cerabyte writes physical bits on ceramic glass sheets, retaining data virtually forever, without bit rot, even under extreme conditions. The low power profile reduces costs, and the media is fully recyclable and provides unlimited media life.
“Cerabyte is poised to transform how data is stored while addressing the cost and sustainability demands of data centers,” said Christian Pflaum, CEO of Cerabyte. “We look forward to collaborating with the Active Archive Alliance and its members to provide advanced sustainable, tiered data storage solutions, capable of storing vast amounts of data for centuries without requiring media migration and with retrieval within seconds.”
