Akonia Holographics Data Storage Technology Will Soon Bring an End to the Tape-Based Archival Era

LONGMONT, Colo., Aug. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ Akonia Holographics has demonstrated world-record data storage density of 1.35 Terabits per square inch using a state-of-the-art holographic drive architecture with its new cutting edge photopolymer media. This milestone is the first in a series of demonstrations we have targeted with our newest technology platform, says CEO Ken Anderson. From compliance requirements to data mining, archival data storage needs are expanding massively. The most practical and cost-effective method for storing archival data today is tape, but with its sequential read/write and rigid environmental requirements, a replacement technology is desperately needed. Much like the cassette tape migrating to the CD and VHS tape being usurped by the DVD, digital tape will soon be replaced by Akonia s more robust and random access holographic storage technology without any cost penalty. Akonia s holographic storage is an archive solution with all of the benefits
