Rakhne (2023)

Data is increasingly treated as a physical commodity. As the amount of data generated grows exponentially, traditional storage methods are struggling to keep up, prompting companies to explore unconventional solutions. The deep ocean presents a unique opportunity: a stable, isolated environment with consistent temperatures and predictable conditions, shielded from typical human-caused disruptions. However, this environment is also largely unexplored. Storing data there introduces unforeseen risks – from biological damage and chemical reactions to potential seismic activity – creating new vulnerabilities.
