  • Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008
    1 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Long time archiving from extensive data supplies requires more then only big storage capacity to be economical. Different requirements need different solutions! A technology comparison repays. Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Dr. K. Engelhardt 2 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Audit-compliant storage of large amounts of data is a key task in the modern business world. It is a mistake to see this task merely as a matter of storage technology. Instead, companies must take account of essential strategic and economic parameters as well as legal regulations. Often one single technology alone is not sufficient to cover all needs. Thus storage management is seldom a question of one solution verses another, but a combination of solutions to achieve the best possible result. This can frequently be seen in the overly narrow emphasis in many projects on hard disk-based solutions, an approach that is heavily promoted in advertising, and one that imprudently neglects the considerable application benefits of optical storage media (as well as those of tape-based solutions). This overly simplistic perspective has caused many professional users, particularly in the field of long-term archiving, to encounter unnecessary technical difficulties and economic consequences. Even a simple energy efficiency analysis would provide many users with helpful insights. Within the ongoing energy debate there is a simple truth: it is one thing to talk about ‘green IT’, but finding and implementing a solution is a completely different matter.

Effective interchange both of commercial, technical, and administrative data, text and images and of audiovisual information is essential for the growth of economy in the world markets. Through the increasing digitalization of information technology, telecommunications and consumer electronics are getting more and more integrated. Open Systems and Distributed Networks based on worldwide recognized standards will not only provide effective interchange of information but also help to remove technical barriers to trade. In particular harmonized standards are recognized as a prerequisite for the establishment of the European economic area. From 1961 until 1994, ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association), then Ecma International (Ecma, for short) has actively contributed to worldwide standardization in information technology, communications and consumer electronics (ICT and CE). More than 380 Ecma Standards and 90 Technical Reports of high quality have been published.

  • The Best Replacement for Dds Continues to Be Dds
    COMPETITIVE PAPER | JANUARY 2003 THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR DDS CONTINUES TO BE DDS 1650 Sunflower Avenue Costa Mesa, CA 92626 1-800-626-6637 | rss.seagate.com THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR DDS CONTINUES TO BE DDS “The low-end tape drive market will continue to be the highest volume market through 2006. Despite new product offerings, DDS tape technology will continue to be the most prevalent tape technology in the low-end segment in the near term.” Source: Industry analyst firm IDC in it’s Worldwide Tape Drive Forecast and Analysis, 2001–2006 report (document #: 28304) Digital Data Storage (DDS) is the tape technology of choice for a growing business’ data protection needs. Products based on this technology, DDS tape drives, also known as DAT (Digital Audio Tape) CY2001 Installed Base By Technology drives, have the largest installed base. In CY2001, High-End Travan 2% Gartner/Dataquest reported that DDS products DLT/LTO 15% 18% represented over 51% of the installed base.1 And, the demand for DDS tape drives continues to be brisk. 8mm 5% 2 Drive shipments CY2001 were 53% of the market SLR and through CQ2’02 demand hardly changed.3 9% DDS The forecast through 2005 is for DDS tape drives to Source: Gartner/Dataquest May 2002 51% sell in greater quantities than drives based on other technologies.4 Yet, tape drive buyers are being flooded with negative statements on DDS by companies offering products based on alternative technologies that are proprietary and have yet to achieve OEM adoption. For example, Sony’s web site recently stated the following: “Outgrown DDS? For DDS replacement or migration, step-up to new AIT-based tape solutions.” In an Exabyte press release dated April 8, 2002, the company stated that it “…believes VXA products are the ideal replacement for DDS technology because they are recognized for their proven reliability and provide capacities that exceed DDS requirements”.
