Cleversafe takes a slice out of storage
,----[ Quote ]
| Cleversafe, for the moment a noncommercial open source project,
| began as Gladwin's personal quest to "store his stuff for at
| least 50 years." He wasn't satisfied with his options: "Today
| you can get very secure, very reliable storage, but it's very
| expensive." Looking for an alternative, he ultimately began
| work on the Cleversafe Dispersed Storage Project.
