Storage Alliance

Digital Bedrock joins the DNA Data Storage Alliance to contribute to developing interoperability standards for DNA storage as an effective and eco-friendly solution to the explosive growth of data

Los Angeles, CA — May 16, 2022 —Digital Bedrock, an affordable, secure digital preservation service provider, is excited to announce that it has joined the DNA Data Storage Alliance.

Formed in October 2020 by Illumina, Microsoft, Twist Bioscience and Western Digital, the DNA Data Storage Alliance is the world’s first and most extensive alliance of industry, venture capital, academic and non-profit organizations in DNA data storage. The Alliance shares a mission to create and promote an interoperable storage ecosystem based on DNA as a data storage medium. This is done via public education, awareness raising, and the publication of white papers outlining the technology and its potential uses. Membership consists of a diverse range of stakeholders, combining a range of expertise, all essential for DNA data storage.

Linda Tadic, the Founder/CEO of Digital Bedrock commented: “We are looking forward to contributing to the Alliance’s work developing interoperable DNA data storage requirements for long-term preservation of digital content.  I am especially interested in the potential for DNA storage technologies to have less of an impact on the environment and earth’s natural resources than today’s traditional storage media and infrastructures.”
