Keep your Data
for Eternity
PEARCODE addresses private and public organisations willing to archive digital data by offering a low-carbon solution which ensures the durability of storage, data integrity, and security.
We reduce the long-term cost of archiving while solving the problem of scarcity of resources and energy consumption.
Vision
The evolution of digital data production and storage is not sustainable in the perspective of a "net zero" society by 2050.
New storage solutions need to be found to secure the integrity of data while using sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly solutions.
PEARCODE's mission is to create innovative bio-inspired computing solutions for digital data archiving.
Context
90 % of data
generated in the past 2 years.
8,000,000 data-centers worldwide
+7.5 million during the last 8 years.
Each year, data-centers:
► Produce metric tons of hardware waste
► Drain country-sized amounts of electricity
► Generate CO2 emissions as much as the global airline industry
80 % of digital universe is "cold"
With no need to access data instantly.
Problems
Available resources more and more scarce
Extremely high energy requirements
for data storage maintenance and migration
Limited durability of storage
life-span up to 10 years.
Our Solution
PEARCODE offers a low-carbon solution for digital data archiving that uses a new bio-inspired storage medium: synthetic DNA.
This innovative solution is revolutionizing the world of storage as it offers a capacity that is a billion times greater than the one offered by hard disks while dramatically reducing the cost of long-term archiving due to the durability of the molecule for thousands of years without the need for data migration.
