IBM has announced a major launch of new storage products and technology to help customers deal with the huge amounts of data they hold.
Storage offerings to go beyond the norm IBM has begun offering storage-on-demand services that go beyond similar initiatives from other storage vendors, including an offer to manage storage solutions from competitors.
Storage vendor EMC this week released details about its upcoming entry into the storage virtualisation market, provoking an uncharacteristically pugnacious response from seasoned campaigner, IBM.

The networking giant will soon begin to sell switches that use Big Blue's software for managing and storing huge pools of data.
To encourage the broadest possible support for its forthcoming "Storage Tank" technology, IBM will release an open-source version of the software needed to let servers tap into the next-generation storage system.
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.
Sending old equipment off for recycling not only helps the environment, it also ensures that 'forgotten' data stored in old storage devices does not find itself in the public domain.
IBM researchers are working on a new storage system prototype that packs hard-drive modules into a dense, Rubik's Cube-like structure.
