DNA: The Future of Data Storage

SNIA Episode 14

Imagine a world where your data could last thousands of years without requiring even a watt of energy. The world is literally running out of data storage, and DNA may be the answer. DNA exceeds many times the storage density of magnetic tape or solid-state media and can store hundreds of petabytes in a mere gram of DNA!

Esther Singer and Dave Landsman, Co-Chairs of the SNIA DNA Data Storage Alliance, explain the potential of DNA as a data storage medium and how it presents a sustainable solution to the world’s insatiable demand for digital storage. You’ll learn how DNA data storage actually works (no, it’s not storing data on humans or animals) and hear how a collaborative partnership among a wide range of technology companies is innovating to make DNA data storage a reality.

SNIA is an industry organization that develops global standards and delivers vendor-neutral education on technologies related to data. In these interviews, SNIA experts on data cover a wide range of topics on both established and emerging technologies.
