In-depth conversations with the leaders, innovators, and experts shaping enterprise tape storage and long-term data archiving.
AI is Redesigning Storage ArchitecturesAhead By Fred Moore
AI is rapidly reshaping global storage infrastructure. In a presentation at the Library of Congress, Fred Moore highlights how exploding data growth, supply chain constraints, and evolving AI workloads are forcing a fundamental rethink of modern storage architectures and long-term data strategies.
An in-depth look at how the servo format angle—rooted in 1990s DLT innovations—enables LTO-10 to achieve 14,784 tracks on ½” tape. This article explores the evolution of angled recording, TDS compensation, shingling, and the engineering precision driving the next generation of LTO performance.
IBM’s Climate Controlled Diamondback redefines tape deployment by operating reliably at elevated temperatures and humidity levels. With integrated environmental controls and a neutral pressure design, it brings tape storage into modern hyperscale and high density data centers.
