Current Problem with Digital Storage  

Degeneration & Data Rot

Data written with a small amount of energy is thermodynamically unstable. Over a short period of time, this digital information degenerates and is lost. The process of this information becoming unreadable is called "Data Rot."

There are many different ways in which an optical disc can fail. The four main failure mechanisms of current optical disc media are:

• Dye Fading (Degradation)
• Delamination
• Bit or Laser Rot
• Oxidation

The exact point at which data rot will occur is unknown because there is no reliable indicator to inform users when failure occurs. All data is lost unless a second copy exists.

Data Migration

Due to the lack of media reliability, institutions are forced to duplicate and rotate data onto fresh media. Data rotation is a very time-consuming and expensive process.

The Digital Dilemma

The amount of digital data is doubling every 12 to 18 months. Interactive Data Corp reports that the digital universe will reach 988 Exabytes by 2010, but there is no permanent solution for storing this data. As the world continues to create digital data at an increasing rate, the need to solve this problem becomes more urgent. Institutions are legally and ethically obligated to preserve digital information. The M-ARC™ Disc enables individuals to store archival data that lasts for centuries.
