LyteLoop is developing data storage in motion using Petabyte per second data rate optical communications in 4 domains: space, fiber, and two free space vacuum cavities. The amount of data in the world is expanding exponentially. 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last 2 years. 4-5% of the world’s power is currently being used by data storage and computing. We need more efficient methods of data storage. Physical sites can be subject to attack, and to local laws. Data storage that avoids these constraints is desirable. This is a revolutionary approach to data storage, using optical communications as a base. Data is not stored in an object. It is stored in motion between objects. The speed of light is fast, so to store data in motion we need very high data rates, and very long paths. LyteLoop has had an operating system using fiber and is currently building a free-space storage prototype. The current fiber system stores > 1 GByte, using 2000 Km of fiber, and is allowing us data center like writing and retrieval experience. Multiple patents have been filed, and some granted. One of the patent-pending concepts is called angle multiplexing, a method of dramatically increasing path length over a free-space path among multiple optical apertures. Another patent pending concept is the savings that will occur because we can have optical loops in a single location.
