Visionary Officer, Joins Board of Directors
Cerabyte, the pioneer of ceramic-based data storage solutions,
today announced a strategic investment from Pure Storage, the IT
pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage
platform, to help enable sustainable immutable data storage
solutions. Additionally, John (Coz) Colgrove, Founder and Chief
Visionary Officer of Pure Storage, joins Cerabyte’s Board of
Directors.
Cerabyte’s vision is to store all data virtually forever and
preserve today’s digital records for future use through the use of
its ceramic data storage technology. With Pure Storage delivering
the industry's best platform to store, manage, and protect the
world's data, this strategic investment in Cerabyte will enable the
company to extend this mission further.
“Pure’s investment in Cerabyte and joint partnership will allow
us to offer our customers sustainable and immutable data storage
solutions that are revolutionizing the industry,” said John (Coz)
Colgrove, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer, Pure Storage. “By
disrupting the archival storage market, we are paving the way for
longer lasting and easier to manage long-term storage.”
Cerabyte enables a new tier of accessible, permanent, and
sustainable data storage that is projected to extend from petabyte
to exabyte-scale data center racks. The persistent media technology
can hold data for extremely long periods of time while consuming no
power.
“The complex global needs of zettabyte-scale archival storage
have been poorly served with expensive solutions that consume an
inordinate share of the world’s available energy,” said John
Monroe, Chief Analyst at Furthur Market Research. “The storage
industry is ripe for transformative disruption. In concert and
conjunction with tape, new technologies such as Cerabyte’s will be
required to provide viable and cost-effective solutions to
enterprise customers’ crucial challenges with the security,
immutability and sustainability (SIS) of their vital data.”
Cerabyte’s ceramic-based data storage does not suffer from bit
rot or silent corruption, which threatens data integrity over time.
Instead, it provides an immutable record of the original data
required in an increasing number of use cases, especially in the
era of AI.
“As the industry is heading towards the Yottabyte Era,
sustainable data storage — which eliminates the need for data
migration and thereby scales down the energy footprint and TCO —
will be critical to harness the data tsunami ahead,” said Christian
Pflaum, CEO, Cerabyte. “We are thrilled to partner with Pure
Storage to commercialize ceramic data storage and welcome John to
our Board of Directors.”
