# The Future of Data Storage
Global data centres account for approximately 2-3% of world electricity consumption, and this share is rising rapidly. Traditional magnetic storage methods are becoming unsustainable in terms of both energy and space.
## Eternal Memory in Glass
Scientists have developed storage media that can theoretically last millions of years by creating nanoscale "voxel" structures inside glass using ultra-short laser pulses. These memory crystals can preserve data at room temperature without consuming any energy.
## DNA Storage
One gram of DNA can store approximately 215 petabytes of data. Companies like Microsoft and Leading Edge BioSciences are working to bring this technology to commercial scale by reducing DNA synthesis costs.
## Babil Software Perspective
In cloud solutions we provide to our clients, we prioritize energy efficiency and minimizing carbon footprint. We live in an era where future technologies are measured not just by performance, but by sustainability.
