CeraMemory

2023: Product Announcement

In early September 2023, the German company Cerabyte announced the creation of a new technology for storing data based on ceramics. The unique solution is expected to revolutionize the enterprise IT market by reducing the total cost of storage ownership in data centers by 75%.

The essence of the technique is reduced to the use of inorganic nanolayers based on ceramic particles with a thickness of 50-100 atoms. It is claimed that the storage density of information is calculated in gigabytes per square centimeter, and with the improvement of technology from 100 nm to 3 nm, the indicator will increase to terabytes per square centimeter. A laser beam or a beam of particles may be used to record the data. In this case, the information is structured by analogy with QR codes. Reading can be performed using equipment using high resolution microscopic imaging techniques or electron beam microscopy.

Cerabyte creates CeraMemory cartridges that can hold 10 to 100 PB of data. In 2030-2035. it is planned to release CeraTape tape drives with a capacity of up to 1 Ebyte. According to the startup, the new technology allows you to read and write information at speeds of GB/s.

Another advantage of the solution is its high reliability. Cerabyte says the carriers can last "more than 5,000 years." At the same time, data can be stored in the widest temperature range - from minus 273 to plus 300 degrees Celsius. In addition, the new type of memory is not afraid of aggressive environments, including acid exposure. The drives are not afraid of electromagnetic radiation and radiation. Cerabyte says it is working closely with major players in related technology and manufacturing segments to bring the proposed solution to market.^[1]
