Startup Startup Sphotonix has brought itself a money-not-buy-hoof roller in the Hollywood film with a large budget “Mission impossible, the last settlement“Where it was ultimately part of the actual scenario instead of a disposable, forgetful prop.
(No spoiler warnings) The core product is used a 5D optical storage media to save a crucial element of the film plot, possibly for billions of years.
Is used to make a backup of the Fully human genome In January 2025 we know that it can save up to 360 TB on a 5-inch rectangular glass dish and its own laser-based nano-networking technology used Femteet.
That is much more than the largest SSD (the 122.88TB SOLIDIGM P5-5336) or HDD (36TB models from Seagate or WD) Currently on the market – more about how the technology works in the promotional video below.
Other exotic storage competitors who want to compete with cold storage, archiving media such as LTO -Tape, include ceramics (Cerabyte), Silicon (Microsoft Silica), DNA (Biomemory” Catalog), optical disk (Folio Photonics” Optera -data).
This is a tough market as witness by the fall of Sony’s Legacy 5.5TB ODA Media, but experts agree: the predatory appetite of AI for Bytes, at rest or on the road, has changed the dynamics of the ecosystem.
The worldwide market for company information -archiving will in 2031 balloons up to more than $ 17 billion, according to research published by Verified market research in 2024.
Sphotonix expects that by 2028, The world will produce nearly 400 seat babyes of data, With thousands of data centers that swallow more than 1000 TWH power worldwide.
The storage startup was established on more than 30 years of research by her Chief Science Officer, Prof. Kazansky, at the Optoelectronics Research Center of the University of Southampton.
I led contact to Sphotonix to find out more about the performance and other related specifications of the media, as well as all meaningful time frames and prices.
