Best of 2025: Atlas Data Storage To Develop Synthetic DNA Data Storage
IT-Techstrong.IT, Thursday, January 1st, 2026
Atlas Data Storage, having been spun off from parent company Twist Bioscience, is a pioneering startup focused on creating enterprise data storage applications based the unique properties of synthetic DNA.
The concept of creating storage capacity using synthesized strands of DNA is both otherworldly and something of a practical necessity. Research firm Gartner forecasts that by 2030, enterprise storage capacity will face a shortage equal to nearly two-thirds of demand-and that's even counting consumer storage. Soon there won't be enough flash drives, magnetic tape and hard disk drives to archive the ever-growing mountain of data.
