We took the best concepts of Internet data networking and applied it to data storage. Our technology, called Information Dispersal, works similarly to TCP/IP packets--that is, we store information on data slices, storing these slices on a network of local or remote servers. So, information is, well, dispersed.

But when you need to access that stored data, the Cleversafe system reassembles it. Flawlessly. Quickly. Efficiently.

Best yet, you needn’t have all those slices to reassemble the file. So, if a slice is stored on a server that fails, you still maintain overall data integrity, because the file is reassembled from other slices. In fact, any defined number of slices can be used to recreate all the original data. Perfectly.

Now, we could talk for days about how these slices are created using a high-performance variant of Reed Solomon coding. But here’s the really important fact: none of the slices are usable on their own. That makes the whole system much more secure. And since your data isn’t duplicated on umpteen servers, you save time. And money. And productivity. But more importantly, you save sleepless nights--because you won’t worry about your mission critical data ever again.
