IBM researchers claim to have created the first molecular switch with the potential to be built into larger-scale systems and, on the same day, published results that could lead to magnetic storage at the level of single atoms.
Researchers in the Netherlands say they have come up with a way of using lasers to speed up magnetic hard drives -- and they expect to have a prototype by 2010.
Storage administration and capacity planning top the list of concerns Australian IT storage professionals are facing, according to a survey.
Materials Australia and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research will be hosting a series of seminars next week encouraging small businesses across South Australia to get involved with nanotechnology.
The use of telemetry to check remote water supplies on Australia's sprawling cattle and sheep stations is saving farmers money and time, scientists say.
If you think two-thirds of your IT is mission-critical, you're either running an incredibly lean and efficient operation or you haven't got a clue how many applications you have and which ones you need to manage.
Does anyone seriously believe that Australian businesses and government agencies manage security any better than the US or UK?
What would you do if you ran an online backup service that offered unlimited storage, and a few dozen of your customers ended up storing more than a terabyte of data each?
Spending time hanging out in Second Life has convinced me of one thing: very few real-world processes benefit from being replicated by a bunch of avatars -- and that goes doubly for storage.
Some future trends in storage are obvious: we'll need more of it, it'll be cheaper per megabyte, and a lot of it will be virtualised.
Scientists experiment with a molecular-scale storage device that can be read like Braille and could lead to systems that hold nearly 100 gigabits of data per square inch.

IBM is expected to announce technology that shortens the time it takes to find information is being extended to its desktop hard drives.
Carbon. Is there nothing it can't do? As well as being the fundamental element behind life, the premium component in energy storage and the top contender for executioner of the human race, it's now beginning to fill in the forms for consideration as inheritor to silicon's electronic crown.
Asia Pacific companies are increasingly running their server applications on Linux operating systems, driven primarily by cost concerns, according to recent research.

It's a small world ahead for serving up documents and media
An Australian researcher has come up with a concept to develop a technology which can store 1000 times more information on computer hard drives than is currently available, and at much faster speeds.
Researchers in England explore an always-on, wearable camera that could capture images automatically.
