Private cloud storage architected for permanence. Zero-knowledge encryption, quantum-resistant algorithms, and multi-layer temporal redundancy — designed for those who understand that data is not disposable.
Every architectural decision at Relicus is measured against one criterion: will this protect and deliver your data reliably, decades from now?
Your data is algorithmically fragmented across geographically isolated nodes via Reed-Solomon erasure coding. No single point of failure. No single surface of attack.
Encryption and decryption occur entirely on your device. Relicus infrastructure never possesses your keys, never sees your plaintext — by architectural constraint, not policy.
Immutable point-in-time snapshots archived across cold storage tiers. Restore any version of any file from any moment within your retention window — precisely, reliably.
Sub-100ms API response on hot storage tiers. Predictive caching learns your access patterns and pre-positions frequently accessed objects before you need them.
Relicus operates at the intersection of established cryptographic engineering and emerging storage science. What we deploy today. What we are building toward.
All stored data is encrypted using CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium — NIST-standardized lattice-based algorithms engineered to resist attacks from both classical and quantum computers. Your archive is protected against threats that do not yet exist at scale.
Reed-Solomon coding splits every object into data shards and parity shards distributed across isolated availability zones. Full data reconstruction is possible even after permanent loss of a substantial portion of nodes — no traditional mirroring required.
Cold archive tiers enforce Write-Once-Read-Many semantics at firmware level. Ransomware, accidental deletion, and insider threats cannot alter committed data. Retention periods are cryptographically locked and legally non-revocable for the duration specified at write time.
In active collaboration with molecular storage research groups to encode high-priority archive data as synthetic oligonucleotide sequences. DNA achieves theoretical densities of 215 petabytes per gram — orders of magnitude beyond silicon — with chemical stability measurable in millennia under ambient conditions, making it the most durable known storage substrate.
Volumetric holographic storage encodes data across the full three-dimensional bulk of a photorefractive crystal medium, not merely its surface. Each hologram is addressed by a unique reference-beam angle; thousands of pages coexist within the same cubic centimeter. Theoretical page-transfer rates exceed 1 Gbit/s with no mechanical read heads — the substrate itself acts as a massively parallel lookup table.
Borrowing fault-tolerance models from topological quantum computing research — specifically Kitaev surface-code constructions — we are engineering classical distributed storage where logical data objects' integrity guarantees survive partial physical substrate failure by construction, not by retry or replication logic. The parity information is woven into the topology of the storage lattice itself.
This is not a policy statement. It is an architectural constraint enforced in cryptographic protocol.
Encryption keys are generated on your hardware, from your passphrase, using PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations. They exist on your device and nowhere else. They are never transmitted to Relicus infrastructure in any form.
Files are fully encrypted before leaving your device. Our storage infrastructure receives and holds opaque ciphertext. The protocol does not contain a step in which we hold the decryption key — it is architecturally absent from our systems.
File names, paths, sizes, modification timestamps, and directory structures are encrypted alongside content. Our billing infrastructure tracks only storage quota consumption. Everything else is opaque to us by design.
Legal demands cannot compel production of data we do not possess. We publish a real-time, independently audited transparency ledger of every legal request received and our full response, without exception.
We are in the first decades of a data civilization. Every photograph, document, research file, and project created today may hold incalculable value — professionally, personally, historically — decades or centuries from now. The technology industry has treated data as ephemeral, as disposable byproduct. Relicus was founded in disagreement with that premise. Some things deserve to last.
Our Long Archive tier is designed around a 100-year preservation mandate. Materials committed to this tier are written to no fewer than three geographically isolated WORM substrates, verified quarterly by cryptographic integrity proofs published to an append-only audit log, and proactively migrated as storage media standards evolve — so your 2026 archive remains fully accessible in 2126 without any action on your part.
As molecular storage research matures, Long Archive materials will be progressively transcribed to DNA and holographic substrates — storage media with stability horizons measured in geological time. The information you commit to Relicus today may outlast the hardware that originally created it by an order of magnitude.
