Holographic storage may add new dimension to big data | SmartPlanet hVault, says <http://hvault.com/category/news/> it will develop and market the first commercially available archive systems based on holographic technology, which supports multiple layers of encoded data, imprinted and extracted by laser. The vendor says holographic disks have a potential lifespan of more than 50 years, versus the two to three years for current magnetic disks. Additional advantages include lower power consumption, and insensitivity to temperature, humidity, or electromagnetic fields, the vendor says. http://smrt.io/HK00bG Source: http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/business-brains/holographic-storage-may-add-new-dimension-to-big-data/23524 See if people are clicking on this link: http://smrt.io/HK00bG+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers To view the list archives go to: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the words UNSUBSCRIBE RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK For any technical queries re JISC please email [log in to unmask] For any content based queries, please email [log in to unmask]
