fighting the lack of good ideas

above the cloud storage

Posted on 11 February 20169 February 2016 By antipaucity No Comments on above the cloud storage

Who wants to go into business with me?

I’ve got a super-cool storage company idea.

Load up a metric buttload of cubesats with radiation-hardened SSD storage, solar power, and [relatively] simple communicaton stacks (secured by SSH or SSL, of course), and launch them into orbit.

You think cloud storage is cool? What about above-the-cloud storage?

Pros:

  • avoid national jurisdictional rules, since the data will never be housed “in” a specific country
  • very hard to attack physically
  • great reason to use IPv6 addressing

Cons:

  • expensive to get the initial devices into orbit
  • software maintenance on the system could be annoying
  • need to continually plop more cubesats into orbit to handle both expanded data needs and loss of existing devices due to orbital degradation

Who’s with me?
