data-storage

Surging AI demands are driving the need for massive datasets and context windows that burst past the confines of system memory.  But rising needs aren’t met by simply adding more storage capacity. What’s needed is useful, grounded insights from AI factories and efficient, secure storage architectures that enable those insights.  At this week’s Future of […]

We’ve seen massive leaps in many different areas of tech over the past few years, and the next big revolution could be in data storage. In a recent paper, scientists at Microsoft revealed that they’ve found a way to store data for more than 10000 years by laser-etching pieces of glass. There are also a few other interesting ways that researchers are improving other storage technologies. Let’s

A significant breakthrough for data storage. Every day, humans are producing more data than ever before - around 90 percent of the world's data was generated in the past two years alone - and there will come a point when our data storage centres and the cloud can no longer keep up. But Dr Zongsong Gan, a researcher at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, has found a revolut…
