Cleversafe is the leader in dispersed data storage technologies, the ideal way to store large, growing amounts of digital assets cost effectively. Founded in 2004, the company is backed by world-class investors like NEA, OCA Ventures, Harrison Street Capital and Alsop-Louie Partners. We are also the sponsor of an open source community movement to help standardize our technology through our cleversafe.org project. 

Superior data storage technology.

Current storage backup and archiving approaches rely on multiple redundant copies, replication and synchronization. That compromises security, adds complexity and increases cost. Instead, Cleversafe is changing data storage technology from a “copying paradigm” to a “slicing paradigm.” With Cleversafe’s model, data is sliced and dispersed across servers. As a result, there’s no data redundancy. And, data expansion can be reduced from 300% to 500% down to a skimpy—and infinitely more manageable—10% to 60%.

Reliability and security.

Dispersed data storage technologies will never be the same. Cleversafe’s slice-and-disperse technology delivers significantly higher levels of reliability and security than existing architectures. Since only a pre-defined threshold of slices is needed to retrieve the data, individual servers or entire locations can be down—and data still can be accessed. And because data is sliced and scrambled, the data is inherently private and secure. In fact, access to individual slices doesn’t compromise the original content.

Limitless scalability.

Unlike older data storage technology, Cleversafe’s dsNet architecture is designed to scale and grow, because it’s built without a central management or system component. So, additional capacity can be added to a dsNet independently—and in quantities to meet specific business requirements.   

Dispersed data storage technologies.

Cleversafe is the first and only company to provide the necessary components to build commercial dsNets, laying the groundwork for making dispersed storage the future of storage.
