Holographic storage

The competitive landscape for InPhase has changed over the past few months with Plasmon, the UDO champions, imploding and the Blue Ray folks struggling with the negative perception of optical as a legitimate enterprise class data storage technology. Going forward the challenge faced by InPhase will be to drive separation between holographic and traditional MO technology by building a unique identity (brand) and credibility (use cases) to convince the enterprise storage buying public to accept holographic as a legitimate storage option for enterprise data. Neither a simple or speedy objective.

Green Validation Report: 3PAR InServ Storage Arrays

Wikibon reviewed the power measurements made on 3PAR’s InServ E200, S400 and S800 storage arrays. These arrays are built from standard components, and enable the power of different configurations to be calculated. The measurements were made at the component level. The measurements were made across three different workloads:

• Sequential read, with a 512K block size
• Random read, with a 16K block size
• Idle (no data being transferred)

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.
