VTL solutions "trick" the backup server into thinking it is still backing up to tape, though the target is now SATA disk. VTLs generally slip into the existing backup environment unnoticed and work with traditional backup applications to expedite the backup and restore process.

Pain point of time

StorageTek's D-series disk systems give customers high-performance Fibre Channel storage solutions that support Information Lifecycle Management(TM) initiatives and maximize IT budgets.

StorageTek significantly lowers prices on disk subsystems

Some accounting applications using optical disk technology include the following:

Directions in optical storage

Free Disk Monitor Lite lets virtual server admins monitor individual VMs for virtual machine disk (VMDK) file size, average disk reads/writes, and data store.

ManageEngine launches Free Disk Monitor Lite

Most material drawn toward a black hole doesn't dive directly in but forms a swirling disk, called an accretion disk, around the hole.

A new spin: X-rays shed light on black holes

A copy of this changed data is moved to a central site to be stored on disk. Some technologies can minimize the size of data transfer by discerning and moving just the byte-level file modifications.

Managing distributed data in the enterprise

The disk surrounds a star called HD 142527, which lies 650 light-years from Earth.

Banana split in space

Here's the thing to know about disk lasers: "Improved beam quality at higher power--approaching C[O.sub.2] beam qualities," says Morris.

The disk difference: Improving laser output; It's smaller and provides a more powerful beam. It's based on Yb:YAG, so it can be deployed through an optical fiber. It facilitates remote welding. The disk laser can be a boon to those who start to reconsider how they process parts

JVC Introduces Hard Disk Camcorders Everio GZ-MG70, GZ-MG50, and GZ-MG40 - World's First Collection of Camcorders with Built-In Hard Disk Drive

With its 2.0 release, Pathlight VX becomes the first open system backup product to combine the capacity and characteristics of disk and tape in a single, unified system, using advanced policy-based data management technology to provide total system capacities of nearly 3,000 terabytes.

ADIC introduces major advance in disk-based backup

These include silicon based dynamic and static random access memory (RAM), magnetic hard disk drives, optical disks (including write once read many [WORM], magneto/optic, CD-ROM, and DVD disk, and magnetic tape.

The digital tsunami: a perspective on data storage: to meet demands, organizations will need to increase today's storage offerings 10 times. But how will such dramatic increases be addressed by technology and systems in the next few years?

NIST has successfully developed an experimental technique and a numerical model to study the dynamic behavior of a head colliding with a disk. In the theoretical part of the study, a three-dimensional finite-element model was constructed to represent the overcoat, media and substrate, as well as a two-mass system, to represent the air-bearing slider.
