Cleversafe, which specializes in dispersed storage technology, has traditionally relied on proprietary software for its technology solution. Unlike mirroring stored data, or using RAID, dispersed storage calls for slicing stored data and spreading it out among servers, reassembling it as needed. The benefit is reduced storage overhead. Now, the company has released the next generation of its software as open source, and is calling for software developers to create their own solutions for dispersed storage. For those keeping an eye on fast-growing storage and archive repositories, this could lead to some meaningful cost reductions.
