Found this the other day on Slashdot. The concept is very cool and I like the idea. Imagine being able to store gigabytes of data in a secure fashion that is fault tolerant (meaning that you will not lose you work!). Well that is what Cleversafe is offering.
I will not try for more information have a look at the site.
From the site
**Dispersed Storage:
>The Project uses information dispersal algorithms IDAs to separate data into 11 unrecognizable DataSlicesâ„¢ and distribute them, via secure Internet connections, to 11 storage locations throughout the world, >creating a storage grid. With dispersed storage, transmission and storage of data is inherently private and >secure. No single entire copy of the data is in one location, and only 6 out of the 11 nodes need to be >available in order to perfectly retrieve the data.
>Data on the grid remains private and secure in the face of natural catastrophes, or failures of hardware, connection, facility, or IT management. Moreover, the individual data slices do not carry enough >information for an unauthorized viewer to determine the original content.
