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?
