Preservation and Archive: The next 100 Years

With companies transferring and collecting vast amounts of digital information being recorded daily, studios are tasked with finding long-term sustainable solutions to create and maintain digital libraries that support content retention. Even as LTO-5 moves to LTO-7, and beyond, higher storage capacity and faster transfer rates using tape technology are not enough to rival the capacity and ease of digital storage systems. This session will look at how Object Storage/Erasure Codes and Ultra-High-Density HDD options are challenging the traditional long-term data storage model and driving a new, more powerful model for archived storage.
