R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Successfully demonstrated in lab. Next steps are to scale it up, automate every aspect (write & read) of it and test it in a relevant environment at an early adopter.
It is scalable in the sense that the technology is able to store arbitrary amounts of data (for any number of clients).
The method has been tested repeatedly with success.
The energy required to store the data in DNA (nanostructures) is significantly lower than competing technology such as disk or tape.
