Cleversafe dreams of distributed mass storage service
,----[ Quote ]
| According to CEO Chris Gladwin, Cleversafe's long-term goal is
| nothing less than to store all of the world's data. And with an
| aim that lofty, he says, open source is the only way to go.

| [...]
|
| The Cleversafe software currently exists only as an open source project,
| available under the Gnu GPL (General Public License).

|
| According to Gladwin, what makes this idea possible is the fact that
| Cleversafe's technology is open source. "If we held this as a proprietary
| technology and said, 'We're the one company that's going to control it,
| trust us' ... I just don't think that that's going to scale," he says.

Google should know. They possibly store the most data, using Linux.
