The iPODs will probably become classic antiques by then. When storage capacity increases to the extent offered by IBM, enterprises will also have to look beyond present data transfer speeds offered by broadband internet and company Ethernet. Currently, the focus from next month will be on holographic data storage from InPhase.

With this in mind, how about a little “racetrack memory” to solve this problem? [...] [...] All in all, this is my take: EMC might be in the unenviable position of paying royalties to Seagate for using STEC’s SSDs in their Symmetrix arrays, further increasing the end-user costs.
