Technology Method of Data Protection Using a Storage Area Network
Scientific Relevance The invention provides a method of splitting data between separate storage devices in a way that only if enough pieces are brought together, the data can be reconstructed. It uses the technology of block level data storage to distribute the shares of data across a network so that each piece is stored in a separate location, with separate backup and storage methodologies and policies.
Commercial Opportunity The market for security-related hardware, software, and services experienced 25% annual growth rate between 2001 and 2006 reaching more than $45 billion in revenue by 2006, according to IDC, a global provider of market intelligence.
Competitive Advantage The invention provides improved security of data storage, archival, and back-up without the use of encryption.
