STORAGE

DO WE NEED MORE CAPACITY ?

 In 2002, around 500 million optical drives and 13
billion disks were sold.
 In 2002, approx. 5 Exa­bytes (1EB = 1018 bytes) of
unique information per year were produced,
equivalent to 800 megabytes for every man, woman,
and child on earth.
 Digital storage requirements growing at roughly 100%
per annum; Development towards an all digital era.

WHY STANDARDIZE HOLOGRAPHIC

INFORMATION STORAGE
 Currently numerous enterprises - small, medium and very large –
are developing and commercializing Holographic Information
Storage (HIS) products, with first products are planned for
market introduction next year (2005) and are currently
undergoing testing.
 Because many of the applications for these products require the
portability of stored information between information processing
systems and across multiple platforms, the information stored by
holographic means, on dynamic and/or static mediums, must be
both removable and interchangeable.
 The important task of finalizing certain design features for
Holographic Information Storage products, which assure
portability and interchangeability, and simultaneously evolving
industry-wide consensus for those design features, is best
accomplished through the structured process of formal
standardization involving critical and focused peer review and
finalization.
