Cerabyte Promises Fast, Dense, Low-Cost Tape Alternative By 2030
Blocks & Files, Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025
Cerabyte says it could deliver a 100-plus PB archival storage rack with 2 GBps bandwidth and sub-10-second time to first byte by 2030.
CMO and co-founder Martin Kunze presented the Cerabyte story to an A3 Tech Live audience in Munich recently, reviewing its technology based on femtosecond laser etching of a ceramic recording layer on a glass tablet substrate. The glass tablets are stored in tape-like cartridges that are deployed in a tape library-type system with robotic carriers moving the cartridges between their storage shelves to and from data reading and writing stations.
