Storage Innovation Keeps Delivering Surprises: Page 3 of 3

I love this kind of stuff. It may be a bit too much like science fiction for many folks, and it is pretty clear that you won't be able to buy quantum or nano storage any time soon to back up your Exchange server. But the main point is that storage innovation is alive and well and continues to produce big (or potentially big) changes that have the potential to transform the industry and the way we store data.

This industry may have its best and most interesting years ahead of it. And sometimes it is hard to imagine the direction it might travel. After all, you can now buy a terabyte of storage for a couple of hundred bucks and stick it in your pocket. What will we be able to do when we can store data in an atom?
