Amplidata

Amplidata, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Gent, Belgium provides unbreakable storage technology that the company claims is 10,000x more reliable than current RAID based technologies, requires 3x less storage and power and is 10x less expensive than current storage solutions. The Amplidata Distributed Storage System fundamentally changes the way how data is stored and scales up to ZetaBytes.

• editor's comments:- August 2010 in some respects the company's BitSpread technology resembles schemes used to distribute data across multiple chips in SSDs while in other ways it sounds similar to Google's File System .
  
  Is another new way of fixing reliability problems in hard disk arrays worth the effort just as we approach the end of the hard disk market's life? - I doubt it. See why - this way to the petabyte SSD.
