Dispersed storage - save costs on replication for DR

Did you know that there is an optimized way to achieve storage replication & reliability via "dispersed storage"? Essentially, the data resides behind a gateway which disperses data across physically separated storage units and reassembles it when needed. Based on the solution you use - this would be efficient, flawless & quick.

Traditional replication is achieved by maintaining duplicates of data, at 200% or more storage capacity needs. Attached picture from CleverSafe explains the concept of dispersed storage.

The average storage savings are about 60% with this mechanism for the same reliability.
Even if some of storage servers fail, one can get your entire, uncorrupted and undamaged file back, as long as you have access to a minimum threshold for retrieval [example, if six of 16 slices are down, you can still get the entire file back]. One also doesn't need to worry about the security of individual storage, because the data on any individual server cannot be interpreted!
