Piql. Long-term preservation technology study

Abstract

The purpose of the analysis is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Piql technology data storage for long-term preservation. This technology has been confirmed by certified laboratory tests. The article presents a unique and effective technology for perpetual storage of data on physical media and a detailed description of data recording methods, including the equipment needed for this process. It also presents the conditions of packaging, storage, transport and protection of piqlFilm media, based on the experience of durability of this medium over the past several decades. The idea behind the creation of this technology, in addition to permanent storage, is the ability to read the stored data in the distant future. The data is stored in an open format, allowing read access without temporal or technological limitations. Piql has also, taking advantage of the unique geo-climatic conditions on the Arctic island of Svalbard, established a specialized archive called the Arctic World Archive or the End of the World Library, to store the most valuable data of international institutions and companies as well as the world’s cultural heritage.
