Magnetic tape storage has a long history as a storage medium, being the primary way to store computer data from the 1960s to the 1980s. More recently, tape has been most closely associated with backup ...

While on-premise object storage is a minority interest, relatively speaking, object storage in the cloud is huge. It is its natural home, and AWS’s S3 is the big beast that roams there. While it’s ...

OSAKA, Japan — The future of computer memory might not lie in electrical currents, but in the precise manipulation of magnetic fields. Scientists at Osaka University have demonstrated a novel approach ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

Losing important computer data can be a nightmare. Whether due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, software corruption, or theft, data loss can disrupt your work and personal life. Regularly ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather ...

Open the Planetary Computer data catalog and you will find all kinds of useful data: from decades’ worth of satellite imagery to biomass maps, from the US Census to fire data. All together, there are ...
