I'm a bit confused on how this could scale - if the way it works makes permanent alterations to the glass (which the article mentions and I presume would be the reason it is resistant to ransomware), what does it do when data changes? Or this a write-once, read-multiple-times solution? Edit: After reading MSFT's official site on this, it is meant more for extremely long term archival of data, and is intended to be Write Once Read Many which makes much more sense now

WORM tech is ancient though so it's not as if it's a big advancement against ransomware IMO.

  I think the point here is that other WORM solutions are not indefinite/long-lasting and expensive so companies don’t bother backing things up, and this should incentivize them to do so. No idea about the cost of this though.
