on Monday, the digital copies of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnsons script to “Yes, we love this country” a part of the Norwegian university of science and technology (NTNU), its new system for the unique documents, and photographs.
Behind the system is the small gründerbedriften Tine, with technology developed at the research centre Cern, where the world’s largest partikkelakselerator trying to solve the puzzle of the universe’s origin.
– We use Cern technology to digital recording, so it is stored safely in any case, the next hundred years, ” says Alexander Nietzold, who has gründet Tine together with Kenneth Hole (27).
Good archiving and safe storage is perhaps not a very sexy business idea, but it can be of great importance.
Large parts of the world filmarv is for example, loss for to literally have gone up in smoke.
Compared with the extremely flammable nitratfilmen, today’s digital storage safer. But if you think that your hard disk or memory card is the place to save familiealbum and important documents over time, you should think twice.
the Bit rot threatens our story
hard Drives have a life expectancy of one to six years, ” says Nietzold.
Blackblaze, who lives backuptjenester, conducted a few years ago a test of 25,000 hard drives. 22 per cent of the hard drives went to pieces in the course of only four years.
Among the cd’s, tapes, memory sticks and floppy disks you can in the best case find products with a lifespan of up to 30 years – if you are lucky.
In February last year went to one of the internet’s pioneers and Google’s internet evangelist, Ro Cerf (73), on the podium with a somber warning: “Bit-rot” can do that our century is lost in history.
– When you see the amount of documentation from the dagliglivene our that are digital, our e-postutvekslinger, tweets and all over the internet, it is clear that we risk losing much of our history, ” said Cerf to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in California.
To the british newspaper The Guardian, he came with a call that was sensational when it came from an internet evangelist.
– If you have images you really care about, print them out, ” said Cerf.
Triple copies and daily check
Tine based on cloud storage, where everything is stored on servers with at least two backups. Easily explained taking Tinds technology a picture of the files in there they are added, where the number of bits (usually represented by ones and zeros) can be counted.
Each day to be checked, so all of the files. There is suddenly a discrepancy in the number of bits, it may mean that the file is damaged. Then retrieved the backup copy up with a time.
– another problem is that the formats of the things stored in the change. You can try to open a ten-year-old pdf-file. There is a high probability that it will not format properly, and maybe it won’t open at all, ” says Nietzold.
Tine stores everything in standard formats such as .tiff & pdf/a.
today, it is mainly research institutes such as Cern, universities and major international organisations that have adopted the technology.
the united nations and the California Institute of Technology is among other things on their list to Tine.
– This is the stuff that the man in the street yet think not of today, ” says Nietzold
Built without investors
The two 27-year-olds have since 2013 built Tine up to a company with ten employees and offices in three countries. In 2014, turnover in the company for two million. Last year ended with the turnover of a little under four million.
In the year to estimate the company to sell for eight million, ” says Nietzold.
It has the company done without external investors.
together we have collected nearly eight million in public funding and loans, but otherwise we have bootstrappet, ” says Nietzold.
Bootstrappe is a gründeruttrykk to build a gründerbedrift without external investors, and so retain greater eiereandeler even. The founders of the Tine has, however, dealt in excess of 34 per cent of the shares in the company to other employees.
We believe everyone should have a bit of kaka. To motivate employees is one of the most important makes. I think you should do it, regardless of whether one bootstrapper or not. We could not afford to pay out good salary in the beginning, and one bad employee can mean death, ” says Nietzold.
