Cleversafe is the developer of Dispersed Storage Network software. Dispersed storage is a technology that uses [[erasure codes]] to split data into multiple ''slices'', each of which is then stored to an independent storage appliance via [[TCP/IP]]. Due to properties of erasure codes, the dispersed storage system can tolerate multiple failures of individual storage appliances without losing the ability to recover data.
