    Why Traditional Data Platforms Fail at Scale - A Quantum Grade Rethink with Arcitecta | Episode #102

    Your data platform is broken — and here’s the fix! 90% of enterprise storage systems collapse under ransomware and buckle at petabyte scale. In this episode, guide & CTO Jason Lohrey reveals how Mediaflux — built from first principles — rewrote the rules. Think hundreds of PB, real-time rollback, built-in malware defense, and unified management of both structured and unstructured data. This conversation blends cold physics with creative flair — and hits the frontier of data engineering. In this episode, I talk to Jason Lohrey, Founder & CTO of Arcitecta, and the quantum physicist behind Mediaflux — a first-principles data platform that manages structured + unstructured data, scales to hundreds of PBs, and delivers real-time ransomware rollback. We dive into: The story of deleting 80,000 words — and what it sparked Why backup can't keep up with scale Data as energy, and the physical limits of storage Why Mediaflux was built from scratch — database, protocols, and all Where quantum computing might take us (and what it threatens)Arcitecta was founded in 1998, based in Melbourne, Australia.☑️ Support the Channel by buying a coffee? - https://ko-fi.com/gtwgt☑️ Technology and Topics Mentioned:Mediaflux, XODB, NFS, SMB, SFTP, DICOM, S3, Real-Time File Streaming, Data Orchestration, Structured & Unstructured Data, Cyber Resilience, Ransomware Rollback, Metadata-Driven File Systems, Backup at Petabyte Scale, Data Gravity, Post-Quantum Cryptography, Multi-Protocol Access, Time-Series Data, First Principles Engineering, Innovation in Storage, Glass & DNA Storage, Distributed File Systems Great Things with Great Tech Podcast: https://gtwgt.comGTwGT Playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcastListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Y1Fgl4DgGpFd5Z4dHulVX Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/great-things-with-great-tech-podcast/id1519439787 EPISODE LINKS Arcitecta Website: https://www.arcitecta.com Arcitecta on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arcitecta-pty-ltd Jason Lohrey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonlohrey GTwGT LINKS Support the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgtBe on #GTwGT: Contact via Twitter/X @GTwGTPodcast or visit https://www.gtwgt.com Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Great Things with Great Tech Podcast Website: https://gtwgt.com SOCIAL LINKS Follow GTwGT on Social Media: Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/GTwGTPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/GTwGTPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@GTwGTPodcast 🎵 Music by BenSound: https://www.bensound.com☑️ Support the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgt
