Github chooses Piql for perpetual data storage

Github is the world’s largest software repository, with 37 million users and more than 100 million repositories. Leaders in the technology industry, Github wanted a trustworthy solution for their perpetual storage needs.

CHALLENGE GitHub has a clearer view than most of the speed at which technology evolves. Software and hardware can become obsolete to a newer version in a matter of months and this could jeopardize valuable source code to be accessible in the future. Source code creates the foundation for future development of computer science, which in many ways, is the foundation of the digital world as we know it. With so much of the world now digital and so much of our heritage increasingly digital, software and source code are a core part of the story. Open source is particularly important, as the basis most software has been built on. Github is a major advocate of open source and places a high value on open source repos itories.
