Abstract

This paper is intended to help buyers invest in system components today even though they are faced with the absolute fact that many of these components will be outdated by 2000. A basic question is how many generations of drives and media will come to market in that period of time, and whether or not today's decision will be tomorrow's regret. Most people in the information technology industry recognize that data recorders and media change every 18 to 24 months. This impacts the user community because system upgradeability is a reality and has long been a major concern. One precaution a user can take is to have vendor assurance that as drive technologies change, the new systems will be able to read back at least two generations of media. Future generations of recording devices and media are in the laboratories today. If a user can project what kind of storage requirements he will have in the future, he should develop a business strategy centered on an awareness of the autoloader market, the future of recording technology, and the projected improvements in media capacity. This paper will focus on viable system components that should still be in place in 2000.

一个媒体狂人对2000年存储行业的答案

本文旨在帮助购买者在今天投资系统组件，即使他们面临着许多这些组件将在2000年过时的绝对事实。一个基本的问题是，在这段时间内，将有多少代驱动器和媒体进入市场，今天的决定是否会成为明天的遗憾。信息技术行业的大多数人都认识到数据记录器和媒体每18到24个月就会更换一次。这影响了用户群体，因为系统可升级性是一个现实问题，而且长期以来一直是一个主要问题。用户可以采取的一个预防措施是让供应商保证，随着驱动技术的变化，新系统将能够回读至少两代媒体。未来的记录设备和媒体都在今天的实验室里。如果用户能够预测到他将来会有什么样的存储需求，他就应该制定一个以了解自动装载机市场、记录技术的未来以及媒体容量的预期改进为中心的商业战略。本文将集中讨论在2000年仍然存在的可行的系统组件。
