akonia holographic data storage

abstract: Akonia holographic data storage abstract: Akonia Holographics has developed the world’s first fully function holographic data storage devices for long-term (inactive) data storage. Akonia’s devices write data onto a very low-cost plastic media capable of storing 1Terabyte of data with promise to achieve 4 Terabytes by 2020 with a cost less than $0.50/Terabyte. While the removable nature of the technology allows the total cost of ownership to be incredibly low, the random access capability enables data to be accessed with latencies similar to spun down hard drive solutions; thereby allowing data centers to store most of its inactive data on the most economical storage solution possible.
