The Low Energy Data Storage System Solution was tested by Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York, USA, in 2023. This is an experiment at the university data centre responsible for managing the community's research data. For long-term data availability, the number of backup copies required is 2, to ensure availability in the event of system failure (servers or disks). This translates into a 200% increase in overheads to manage a data file (2 times more disk space, 2 times more energy, 2 times more overheads). With the Vault File System (VFS) product, the volume of data was fragmented and encrypted by erasure across the entire server network.
The net saving was a 150% reduction in file management costs with high resilience. This 150% reduction translates into lower energy consumption, lower equipment usage, etc., thereby reducing the CO2 footprint of the data used.
Global data is growing exponentially and experts estimate a 5X growth by 2025. The rapid growth is due to the increase in high-quality video production, digital health technologies, Blockchain and smart contracts etc. The consequence is that the data has to be stored somewhere - typically in data centres. Currently, data centres consume about 2% to 4% of the global energy production, and, at the current rate of growth, 10% to 20% of the global energy will be required by 2025. Swiss Vault is addressing this problem by designing the next-generation data management systems that reduce energy consumption and space utilization. By building long-lasting modular systems that can be repaired, repurposed, or recycled, we reduce the environmental impact.
