SILICA - PROJECT BY MICROSOFT
Posted On Oct 22, 2020Microsoft partnered with Warner Bros a short time back to store the famous "Superman" movie that was released in 1978 and this game is housed in a quartz piece of glass. And this project is a portion of the silica project that Microsoft launched in 2016. The glass reaches 7.5 cm* 7.5 cm with a diameter of 2 millimeters and can be stored.
Up to 75.6 GB of data and redundancy error codes as well. This laser is used for the decoding of "Data in the glass by shaping layers of" 3D nanoscale grating and deformations at various stages Depths and angles, respectively.' The encoded data is then read back into images and patterns by computer algorithms to decipher them. Microsoft claims that in boiled water, cooked in an oven, microwaved, flooded, the strong silica glass will live. And this is unbelievable. After getting to know about project silica, warner bros continue towards Microsoft to preserve its massive library, according to Microsoft's blog. The American entertainment firm has been looking for a storage technology for a long time that does not suffer from decadence. Via Beebom Featured Picture.The market for cloud storage of long-term data hits exponential heights and continues to develop into zettabytes. A cost-effective approach for preserving long-lived data is not offered by current storage technologies. It needs a radical rethinking of how we construct largescale storage facilities, as well as the underlying storage technologies that underpin them to work at those scales in the cloud.Project Silica creates the first data infrastructure for the cloud, planned, and developed from the media up. Through using femtosecond lasers, we are using recent developments in ultrafast laser optics to store data in quartz glass and developing a brand new storage device built around this technology from scratch. This opens up an extremely promising chance to criticize and reinvent conventional storage system architecture entirely, and to co-design the future cloud hardware and software infrastructure. We are recruiting researchers in Machine Learning for Storage, and internships in Tech, FPGA, Electronics, and Optics for this and related projects.
This project leverages innovations first developed at the Optoelectronics Research Centre of the University of Southampton, which was included in a keynote on future storage technology for Microsoft Ignite 2017. Project Silica is part of a larger Optics for Cloud project that discusses the future of optics and computer science at the intersection of cloud computing.
