SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cerabyte, Inc., the pioneer of ceramic-based data storage solutions, today announced its participation in the 2026 Open Compute Project (OCP) EMEA Summit, April 29-30 in Barcelona, Spain.
The rapid rise of AI is exposing a critical gap in today's data infrastructure; the ability to store data at scale, affordable and accessible for the long term. At OCP EMEA 2026, Cerabyte will present a Future Technology Symposium Keynote outlining its vision for storing data, one that moves beyond the traditional data storage tiers to deliver permanent, accessible and sustainable data storage.
"Affordable, accessible data storage is the foundation of AI, yet today's infrastructure cannot meet AI's demands at scale, economically or ecologically," said Christian Pflaum, Cerabyte CEO. "Our technology is addressing the cost, accessibility, performance and sustainability needs enabling a new tier of data storage as well as new use cases."
Cerabyte is developing sustainable, ultra-durable data storage technology that can preserve massive amounts of information permanently without frequent migration, combining fast access, scalability, and zero-energy data retention. Its durable ceramic-on-glass media enables virtually unlimited data preservation and does not require maintenance, energy or media migration to retain the data.
As a result, long-term data storage costs and carbon footprint decrease, making it ideal for a broad range of use cases, including digital preservation, hyperscalers or any organization managing petabyte to zettabyte-scale datasets.
What:
Title: 'No Storage – No AI'
OCP EMEA – Future Technology Symposium Keynote
Cerabyte will outline its vision for the future of data infrastructure, emphasizing that without new data storage solutions, AI cannot scale to its fullest potential. The company will also discuss the emergence of a new additional storage tier that includes:
- Economics of tape with disk-like random access within seconds
- Zero-Energy data retention, no maintenance or migration, low cost
- A scalable foundation for petabyte- to yottabyte-scale AI workloads
Where:
OCP EMEA Summit 2026, Barcelona International Convention Center
When:
Wednesday, April 29 at 1:45 p.m.
The OCP EMEA Summit serves as a platform where global technical leaders come together to tackle the issues related to data center sustainability, energy efficiency and heat reuse in the region. The focus is on exploring how innovations from hyperscale data center operators can contribute to solving these challenges. The OCP EMEA Summit also highlights deployments of specific OCP-recognized data center equipment in the EMEA region.
