IBM believes the next generation of super-fast, ultra-dense storage technology lives in their labs. They call the technology “racetrack” storage, a nanoscale tech that promises speeds 100s of times faster than SSD, while scaling to dense, petabyte levels. With the massive explosion of data across enterprises, IBM can’t get this technology out the door fast enough. It’s almost inevitable that others are working on their own solutions to the problem. We’ve already established more an exabyte of data world wide and it won’t take long for us to get to the next exabyte. The process is ever accelerating. You can check out the article from Computer World on IBM Racetrack storage technology right here.
