'''Cleversafe''' is a data storage company and a leader in dispersed data storage technologies {{citation-neededFact|date=November 2008}}, a way to store large, growing amounts of digital assets.

'''Cleversafe''', Inc. is based in Chicago, Illinois and is the developer of Dispersed Storage software, which uses information dispersal algorithms (IDAs) to separate data into unrecognizable data slices and distribute them, via secure Internet connections, to multiple storage locations on a dispersed storage grid. With Dispersed Storage, transmission and storage of data is inherently private and secure. No single entire copy of the data is in one ___location, and only some of the slices need to be available in order to perfectly retrieve the data.

== Technology ==

Cleversafe’s Information dispersal technology works similarly to TCP/IP packets.{{citation-neededFact|date=November 2008}} Information is stored on data slices on a network of local or remote servers. When the data needs to be accessed, it is reassembled and delivered back.

One of the advantages to this technology is that it maintains overall data integrity because the file is reassembled from other slices. Any defined number of slices can be used to recreate all the original data. The technology is thought to be highly secure because none of the slices are usable on their own.
