Magnetic tape may seem like a pretty antiquated data storage technology, but its density and capacity is still hard to beat for big data centers. Now, IBM and Fujifilm have teamed up to create a prototype high-density tape cartridge with a record-break… Continue reading New magnetic tape prototype breaks data density and capacity records
Game cartridges are perhaps the hardiest of all common storage schemes. Short of blunt traumatic force or application of electrical surges to the cartridge’s edge connectors, damaging a game cartridge is hard to do by accident. The same is also true for the data on them, whether one talks about …read more

Qumulo, the Seattle-based data storage startup, announced a bunch of updates today including support for NvME caching, an approach that should enable customers to access faster flash storage at a lower price point. NvME flash storage development is evolving quickly, driving down the price with higher performance, a win-win situation for large data producers, but […] Continue reading Qumulo update adds NvME caching for more efficient use of flash storage
Storing data on magnetic tape might sound delightfully retro, but it’s actually still widely in use for archival purposes thanks to its high data density. Now researchers at the University of Tokyo have made magnetic tape using a new material, which al… Continue reading New magnetic tape tech makes data storage resistant to interference
While it might seem like the internet is leaving a detailed record of history, the world’s knowledge is all surprisingly vulnerable to being lost in a disaster. To help keep a backup, GitHub has now archived 21 TB of public open source data and buried … Continue reading GitHub buries 21 TB of open source data in an Arctic archive
The potential for catastrophic data loss events continues to climb as the use of cloud applications grows. Small and medium-sized enterprises are moving massive amounts of data into the cloud—and that data is now spread across more applications than e… Continue reading Why Your Cloud Apps Deserve Better Data Protection
