[DENIED] "Organic" Datastorage, storage of the future.


Recommended Posts

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Technology


Founding/Settlement Date (if applicable): Researched&Created by Human. Research started since the 21th century.


Region of Space: Mostly used in Big Datacenters of human space (Sol Alliance's spaces & Tau)


Controlled by (if not a faction): Largest structures owned by Sol Alliance.


Other Snapshot information: Heavily inspired from current research on storing datas in "Organic things", such as DNA. (see: DNA digital data storage.)


Long Description: Way before the space colonisation era, Human researched on Terra (Third planet of the Sol System) have tried, to solve the issue of data storing technology at the time starting to take too much space, to store as maximum data with the smallest physical volume as possible. These researches lead to the idea of storing digital datas on the support of life itself, DNA. At the time, these researches weren't top priorities, but shortly after a start in Space colonisation and the growing numbers of human,computer technologies usage and the Extranet, a new way to store information without having to build giant structures had to be found.


After the first contact and heavy researches on cloning technology, Terra saw the creation of the first "Organic Datacenter", where data would be stored on artificial cells, containing a modified DNA to store any informations. This center was capable to store, in a single room, all the informations of all datacenters on Earth.


Today, "DNA Datacenters" are now used to store over hundred of Yettabyte of information, such as a good majority of the Extranet, while traditional datacenters, cheaper, are used to store more local data, such as a small corporation's datas, a school's student lists, etc...

This sort of technology has massive limitations even with the sci-fi setting we use. As much as we'd like to simply circumvent these limitations and put this through, it overrules a decent portion of AI lore by making much of our groundwork redundant, so it's against our best interests to accept this. As such, I'll be denying this, though it'll be kept in mind.
