Often significant public money has been spent to run research projects and collect data, thus propagating this data and keeping it available for coming generations of researchers is an obligation we have to fulfill. Furthermore, it is likely that future researchers will be able to gain additional insights from this data. The challenge is how to afford the preservation of this data in a sustainable way while keeping it accessible. Cerabyte is a technology to permanently preserve huge sets of digital data, cost-efficient and sustainable, with fast access when needed. We provide an update on the ecosystem and technology progress to date including the current status and remaining challenges as well as our collaboration with openlab and an outlook on planned activities for 2026.
