Mixed future for optical storage

December 21, 2010

Analysts Predict the Future of Optical Discs | www.storagenewsletter.com

Blu-ray optical disc shipments are expected to reach 400 million in 2010 and 2 billion by 2014. DVD optical disc sales are shrinking, impacted by on-line content distribution. Higher definition content keeps higher capacity physical distribution alive. The future of optical media may depend upon continued growth of content resolution since downloads of large files still too slow. Stereoscopic and Ultra-HD content later in the decade may prolong the life of physical content distribution

is the opportunity for magnetic tape in the 21st century?

November 27, 2010

WW Market of Tape Cartridges Down 10% Quarterly | www.storagenewsletter.com

A combination of technology switches in half-inch magnetic tape and increasing use of hard disk drive arrays for long term storage of data caused a decline in tape shipments in the second half of 2010. The latest generation of LTO tape, LTO-5 increased in tape shipments while earlier generation products experienced lower shipments. AIT, DDS/DAT, DLT and QIC tape cartridges experienced overall declining sales in Q2 2010. Magnetic tape now plays a role as a low cost third tier and archive data storage technology. There are markets, such as media and entertainment, where the need for tape could undergo significant growth over the next few years.
