About six years ago, Fusion-io realized that the traditional disk-based storage approach would not work for the next generation applications, like social networking and the cloud.
Since its acquisition of Isilon in late 2010, EMC has made making significant progress in the network attached storage market, a fast-growing segment of the networked disk storage market.
For example, you may do initial backups to disk-based storage elsewhere in the data center, with further backups to tape.
Sun is first releasing a new version of its Solaris operating system designed to integrate flash and traditional disk-drive storage, and in the next six months it plans to sell its own flash storage drives aimed at businesses.
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) develops advanced hard disk drives, enterprise-class solid state drives, and innovative external storage solutions and services used to store, preserve and manage the world's most valued data.

With one touch, the user can transfer photos from the camera's insert to a Zip disk for long-term storage, or send them via e-mail.
The 5.27 megabits of data are more than 600 times bigger than the largest data set previously encoded in DNA. It is the equivalent of the storage capacity of a 3.5-inch floppy computer disk.
DropBox, Google Drive and all of the other cloud storage services really offer the same thing: free or cut-rate disk space.
FORBES: The Key to Success in Cloud Computing? Good Plumbing
Have you ever been playing around with molten metal salt, when you accidentally created hollow, soft-shelled particles that could one day increase hard disk storage or power future QLED displays?
ENGADGET: Researchers stumble onto 'lava' generated quantum dots, could power future peripherals
Solid-state storage and memory technologies in general use less power than hard disk drives when they are active, and thus there can be power savings if some solid-state storage and memory can be used in a mixed storage technology environment in a way that reduces the spinning time of hard disk drives and thus decreases the power needs of a storage system.
At the 2013 Storage Visions Conference Millenniata announced a Blu-ray version of their archival M-Disk Technology.
"Solid state" storage systems, like flash memory, offer some clear advantages over the spinning-disk drives of the past.
The secret to packing that much information on such small real estate--about 15 times denser than the densest data storage device currently in existence--is self-assembly, or tricking the disk's materials into organizing into an array of data-storing dots packed far tighter than what could be accomplished with current techniques.
Runner-up: The Maxtor Shared Storage Plus represents the wave of the future of network storage, combining left-brain network backup with right-brain media serving with the hard disk already inside.
Secure storage devices with on-board encryption are available from many vendors today, including all hard disk manufacturers (Seagate Technology, Western Digital and Toshiba) as well as major SSD manufacturers such as Intel, Micron, and Samsung.
Due to the lower cost per GB of a 2.5-inch hard disk drive, the Archos tablets will offer 250 GB of storage for about the same price as 32 GB of flash memory on a current generation tablet computer.
In January Philips began consolidating 400 servers into two data centers that can allocate storage space on-the-fly to those departments that need more without having to buy more disk drives.
The "A-Drive" represents the next generation of storage innovation providing capacities of up to 1 TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with 32 GB Solid State Drive (SSD).
Its products include integrated circuits that are used in disk drives, solid state drives, high-speed communications systems, computer servers, storage systems, and personal computers.
Seagate, Western Digital and Toshiba are shipping hybrid HDDs targeted for the ultra-thin mobile computer market with up to 8 GB of flash memory and 1 TB hard disk storage.
Getting to that stage might mean combining self-assembly methods with lithography, or doing away with the head that reads the data-packed disk and instead creating a self-assembling solid-state system on the model of Flash memory storage used today.
