With world-wide distribution and broad industry support, M-Disc has created a platform for consumers and enterprises to archive their most precious data permanently across all storage platforms.
As the industry’s first consumer archival platform, M-Disc has elevated the storage industry’s overall standard. With the onset of consumer demand for more reliable and safe data storage capabilities, the M-Disc storage platform provides the capacity to store all data for up to 1000 years. The platform also eliminates the need for constant data management.
“We’re truly proud to be working with the industry’s most influential OEM leaders in the storage space, who have helped bring the vision of reliable optical data storage to life,” said Paul Brockbank, CEO of Millenniata, “Our consumer archival platform proves that the optical storage medium is alive and well, and we’re setting the standard for long term archival media longevity.”
