SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
Cloud storage is hampered by security concerns that information dispersal can address. Information Dispersal divides data into fragments and stores the fragments on separate hardware appliances across multiple data centers. Since data is stored in fragments, full copies of files do not exist on any single piece of hardware, offering a paradigm shift for data security in the cloud.
Learning Objectives
Learn how information dispersal works with an M of N architecture
Learn how storing fragments addresses security challenges in the cloud
Learn how data can be encrypted and key management can be handled securely
Learn how object storage scales to multi-petabytes required for the cloud
Learn how geographic redundancy and availability are achieved without the overhead of replication
