Abstract

 

For over 20 years a dedicated group of digital storage technologist experts have created the bi-annual INEMI Mass Storage Technology Roadmap Report. This report examines critical requirements for digital storage technology, including hard disk drives, optical discs, magnetic tape and flash memory. Digital storage technology is undergoing unprecedented changes to meet the needs of growing digital content to support the growth of the Internet of Things, higher resolution content, machine intelligence and the resulting increase in data in big data centers (the cloud). Find out about critical developments and roadmaps for all the important digital storage technologies in use today and how they are enabling user applications and the growth of cloud storage.
