Make data growth sustainable

Greetings! If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume that you, just like us, have a strong reliance on digital data to store and consume information.
You probably have yourself a few terabytes of personal data, and your organization most likely stores petabytes or even exabytes of data: some text documents, images, video content, sensor data and so on…
But have you ever thought about how much resources are required to allow this data to grow?
To answer this question, and explain why we started UltiHash, we have to go back in time.
Remember the days when engineers were thrilled to have a few megabytes of storage space on their hard drives? Fast forward a few decades and we now measure data in units of zettabytes. In the early days of computers, data was limited by the storage capacity of mainframe computers.
But with the growth of the internet and connected devices, the volume of data has exploded. The term “big data” was first used in the early 2000s to describe the growing volume, velocity and variety of data. Technologies such as Hadoop and NoSQL databases were developed to handle these large data sets and with the use of cloud computing cost-effectiveness increased as well.
Now why do 'data growth' and 'sustainability' belong in one sentence?
The challenge with big data is that it requires massive amounts of resources. Data centers, which are the backbone of the internet, consume massive amounts of electricity and water to power and cool the servers that store and process data. The manufacture of servers also requires rare earth minerals and other precious materials.
According to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, data centers in the United States alone consumed about 70 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2014, which is roughly equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 6.5 million homes. This energy consumption by data centers has significant environmental consequences, including increased carbon emissions.
Today, big data is being used across industries, from healthcare to finance, to drive innovation and improve operations.
The growth of big data shows no signs of slowing down, requiring new technologies to ensure we can continue to reap the benefits of data while also protecting our planet.
That’s where UltiHash comes in. We want to make data growth sustainable - and to allow data to continuously expand without demanding that resources grow at the same speed.
As a first step we are offering a sustainable data infrastructure that connects data across architectures and automatically deduplicates redundancies to save volume. Our binary storage system allows you to store data of every format. And you can even choose to use UltiHash within your on-premises and cloud environments.
We hope you got a firm grasp on why UltiHash was created. It’s no simple feat, but with the help of driven people, it’s within reach. We need early adopters like you to join and start a revolution.
Let’s make it happen - see you soon!

Tom Lüdersdorf

CEO

This question has stuck with me during my entrepreneurship studies in Copenhagen, Denmark. Some believe it is the founder's personality, desires, and cognitive ability to envision a new future. Others claim that the founder recognizes an opportunity based on their previous experience and activities. In theory, it is difficult to determine what is the single source that motivates a founder to start a business. However, in practice, I believe it is essential to reflect on our personal "why". For me, it's the feeling of freedom to be able to imagine something and then implement it, with only me setting the limits. Encouraging creativity and bringing the necessary structure into the chaos - that's what I love to do.
