Japanese technology giant Fujitsu has unveiled plans to launch enterprise-grade storage as a service to its Australian customers, although it will cut down the number of hardware vendors it focuses on.
Virtualisation is the key technology for creating less power-hungry datacentres, according to numerous speakers at the Energy Logic symposium in Sydney.
Sun Microsystems is merging its storage and server units into one team, the company's chief executive Jonathan Schwartz has announced.
IBM researchers gave ZDNet.com.au's sister site CNET News.com an insight its latest "racetrack" memory, which IBM promises will bring a 100 fold increase in density by storing data in long magnetised nanowires rather than disks.
The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
The components that make up a modern datacentre often look disturbingly like commodity items: a server here, a rack there, spaghetti tangles of cable everywhere. But there's one item that is still something of a rarity -- and no, I'm not talking about the expertise needed to run it.
Google has attracted a lot of attention with a new study that contradicts the accepted wisdom that hard drives are more likely to fail in cool conditions than warm ones. However, I don't think we ought to be switching off the datacentre air conditioners any time soon.
On any list of businesses that can't afford downtime or system failure, power companies have to be close to the top. So when New Zealand electricity and gas generator and retailer Genesis Energy experienced a series of flaws in its backup and recovery systems, it had to act.
IBM scientists have made a working RAM chip with two gates for conducting electricity, but problems remain in developing a manufacturing process.
The only question is which approach will work best -- using molten silicon, designer molecules, or maybe protein globules?
In this issue of Industry Insider, Linus Wong, our guest columnist from Adaptec Storage Solutions, traces the origins of Serial ATA (SATA), a relatively new connectivity interface.
Continuing a tech industry push on regulatory compliance, the software maker announces a product to help companies abide by rules and manage their data.
3D storage for digital video steps into the future with the development of a holographic recorder that can hold 100GB of data - enough for 20 full-length movies.
Consumer-electronics giant Philips is demonstrating a prototype miniature disc drive that uses a coin-size disc capable of storing nearly twice as much data as a standard-sized CD.
While computer memory and disk space are addressed through a binary numbering system, speed is calculated by decimal measurement. So how are speed measurements calculated?
A group of electronics manufacturers is looking to expand the uses for removable flash memory cards with a new security specification.
IBM researchers have created a storage device that holds up to a trillion bits of information, or about 25 million textbook pages in a postage stamp-size area.
