About Cerabyte
Cerabyte is developing archival data storage that uses a femtosecond laser (an extremely short-pulse laser) to write data into a thin ceramic layer on glass. The aim is permanent, low-energy storage for data that is rarely read, as an alternative to tape and hard drives. The approach is still at an early stage. The company is based in Munich, Germany, and was founded in 2022 by Christian Pflaum, Martin Kunze and Alexander Pflaum. Pure Storage made a strategic investment in 2024, with the amount undisclosed.
Cerabyte was founded in 2022 and is based in Munich, Germany. It is listed under Memory & Storage.

What Cerabyte works on
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
