Unveiled via a successful Kickstarter project in December 2012, Transporter is a private data sharing and storage solution that gives users ownership and complete control of their data and files.
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.
Control of power utilization in these data centers will drive new tiered storage approaches with solid state storage combined with HDDs and with new non-volatile memory using either flash memory or new approaches such as MRAM.
