Library Science Talk – The Future of Digital Archival Storage Technology

3. décembre 2025 - 12:30 - 13:30
Cours magistral

oday, magnetic tape is the lowest cost technology for storing large volumes of digital data.  Historically, areal density scaling has been the main driver of the exponential decrease in cost, i.e. $/TB of capacity, of both tape and hard disk drives. Recently, HDD scaling has stagnated while tape continues to scale at historical rates. The INSIC 2024-2034 Tape Technology Roadmap projects that tape areal density will scale with a 32% compound annual growth rate enabling an approximate doubling of capacity every two and a half years until at least 2034, at which point tape systems are expected to reach an areal density of 315 Gb/in2.  The feasibility of these projections have been validated by a recent research single channel tape areal density demonstrations. The scaling challenges and future roadmaps for tape and HDD will be discussed and contrasted with research into alternative archival storage technologies.
