Advised by Bank of American Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, the combined company will result in the largest consumer based digital data storage companies.
This model is driving the growth of digital storage in data centers and thus the sale of hard disk drives, tape storage and flash memory used in enterprise storage tiers for these data centers.
FORBES: Changing Digital Storage Requirements for Clouds and Mobile Devices
With the amount of digital data in data centers growing annually and storage budgets highly constrained open source storage system designs can fill an important niche for data centers and IT people comfortable with installing and maintaining their own hardware.
Despite the move to control the growth of digital storage requirements in data centers (e.g. the cloud) by means of virtualization, deduplication and other methods to achieve higher storage capacity utilization the amount of stuff and the size of the stuff we store continues to increase.
The increased use of flash memory storage has lead to new storage interfaces that can take advantage of the higher data rates that NAND flash based digital storage can provide.
Numerous digital data sources are becoming available because of a combination of increasing data storage, data processing and data transmission productivity (effective available bandwidth appears to double approximately every 21 months).
This is an article on ways to use digital storage, especially solid state storage, to save power in data centers.
Coughlin Associates provides market and technology analysis (including reports on several digital storage technologies and applications and a newsletter) as well as Data Storage Technical Consulting services.
The bulk of digital content in data centers will remain on magnetic storage media either hard disk drives or magnetic tape.
As shown in a recent Samsung event, increasing utilization of enterprise equipment, including digital storage, keeps the equipment in data centers working even harder, resulting in even higher energy use.
This huge volume of data creates a need for cost effective digital storage.
Advanced Digital Information, of Redmond, Washington, provides electronic data storage and retrieval.
The user could choose to let it in LinkedIn (for example, the status updates, very public and short lived, can stay), or choose some other digital asset storage provider (for example, the sensitive connections data would go to another storage provider, more trusted by the user).
FORBES: I Want My Data Back! (A Vision Of Data Vaults, APIs, Open Systems And Standards)
The company is also in over 30% of digital TV and set top boxes and an increasing presence in automotive and data storage.
Founded in 1983 to market a minicomputer data cartridge backup drive, Advanced Digital has emerged as a world leader in open systems storage for PCs.
Digital storage is a key component in the build out and management of on-line data centers.
On-line data centers are increasing their capacity to deal with this increased demand for processing power, communication speeds and digital storage capacity but despite the increases in efficiency of enterprise equipment and software there is a price to pay for universal connectivity and general on-line resources.
Exponential growth in digital information and greater adoption of newer technologies like cloud computing, big data and virtualization have contributed to growth in external storage systems, and EMC will be the biggest beneficiary with its stronghold in SAN and NAS markets as well as continued growth in unified storage.
