Living in the age of the digital media explosion the urge for finding new efficient methods of data storage increases significantly. Existing storage devices such as hard disks, flash, tape or even optical storage have limited durability in the range of 5 to 20 years. Recent studies have proven that the method of DNA data storage introduces a...

Living in the age of data explosion, the research of solutions for efficient long term storage of the infrequently used "cold" data is becoming of great interest. However, even if existing storage systems suggest efficiency in capacity, they are lacking in durability. Hard disks, flash, tape or even optical storage have limited lifespan in the...

Living in the age of the digital media explosion, the amount of data that is being stored increases dramatically. However, even if existing storage systems suggest efficiency incapacity, they are lacking in durability. Hard disks, flash, tape or even optical storage have limited lifespan in the range of 5 to 20 years. Interestingly, recent...

The exponential increase of digital data that is being generated every year along with the capacity and durability limits of conventional storage devices are raising one of the greatest challenges for the field of data storage. The use of DNA for digital data archiving is a very promising alternative as the biological properties of...

Living in the age of data explosion, the research of solutions for efficient long term storage of the infrequently used "cold" data is becoming of great interest. Recent studies have proven that due to its biological properties, the DNA is a strong candidate for the storage of digital information allowing also data longevity. However the...

Given the growing adoption of AI, cloud data lakes are facing the need to support cost-effective "just-in-case" data archival over long time periods to meet regulatory compliance requirements. Unfortunately, current media technologies suffer from fundamental issues that will soon, if not already, make cost-effective data archival infeasible. In...

ABSTRACT The surge in demand for cost-effective, durable long-term archival media, coupled with density limitations of contemporary magnetic media, has resulted in synthetic DNA emerging as a promising new alternative. Today, the limiting factor for DNA-based data archival is the cost of writing (synthesis) and reading (sequencing) DNA. Newer...

The demand for data-driven decision making coupled with need to retain data to meet regulatory compliance requirements has resulted in a rapid increase in the amount of archival data stored by enterprises. As data generation rate far outpaces the rate of improvement in storage density of media like HDD and tape, researchers have started...
