SEMINAR GUIDE HEAD OF DIVISION
ABSTRACT
The growing demands of high definition digital video content, fixed content data, and
compliance and security application will soon outstrip the capabilities of current storage
technologies to keep up the demand. Clearly a new storage paradigm is needed to meet the
growing storage demands. So what is it going to be?
With its omnipresent computer, all connected via the internet, the information age has led to
an explosion of information available to users. The decreasing cost of storing data and the
increasing storage capability of the same small device footprint have been key enablers of
this revolution. While current storage needs are being met, storage technology must continue
to improve in order to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand. So how is it going to
be?
Both magnetic and conventional optical data storage technologies, where individual bits are
stored as distinct magnetic or optical changes on the surface of a recording medium are
approaching physical limits beyond which individual bits may be too small or too difficult to
store. So what next step is going to be?
Storing information throughout the volume of a medium, not just on its surface is an
intriguing solution to our entire problem regarding storage. So this is it, Holographic Data
Storage. Holographic Data Storage is a volumetric approach which, although conceived
decades ago, has made recent progress towards practicality with the appearance of lower-cost
enabling technologies, significant results from longstanding research efforts and progress in
holographic recording materials.
This is a quest to find the answer to these entire questions, the technology and the story
behind the next revolution in data storage.

11. CONCLUSION
10. HOLOGRAPHIC STORAGE PRODUCTS

10.1 Inphase Technologies
Only recently has there been a convergence of factors which have allowed InPhase to
develop a commercially-viable holographic storage device. Among these is the
availability of key components such as blue lasers as well as SLMs and camera chips
with sufficiently high resolution. Another key factor is the development of Tapestry™
media with appropriate optical qualities, manufacturability, and archive life. Finally,
techniques such as polytopic multiplexing enable significantly higher storage densities,
ensuring competitive storage capacities and prices. The initial InPhase holographic
storage drive will be a WORM drive that is capable of sequential writes and random
reads. It contains a large 2 GB buffer to cache the writes, in order to optimize
performance through long uninterrupted write sessions. The drive is capable of
emulating a variety of existing storage devices such as LTO tape and magneto-optical
(MO) drives. Initially, the drive will have a SCSI interface, although the modular
design of the drive enables future interfaces to be of an almost unlimited variety,
including Fiber Channel, Giga Ethernet, SATA, SAS,USB 2, SAS and others. The
result of these standard interfaces and drive emulations means that existing applications
can easily interface to the holographic drive as if it were a tape, with no changes to the
application.
10.2Holographic Roadmap
The first holographic storage products from InPhase Technologies will target the
professional archive and near-line storage markets, with WORM drives and media.
These initial products will have a capacity of 300 GB of uncompressed data, with read
and write transfer rates of 20 MB/s. Subsequent generations of WORM devices will
increase the capacity to 800 GB and the transfer rates to 80 MB/s and then to 1.6 TB
and 120 MB/s respectively.
InPhase is also developing rewritable holographic media, which will enable media to be
erased and reused. The initial rewritable product will have an 800 GB capacity and a
transfer rate of 80 MB/s, increasing to 1.6 TB and 120 MB/s respectively.
Finally, holographic storage is also highly adaptable to low-cost read-only applications.

Holographic readers can be developed very cheaply, since they do not need to contain
expensive optics. Duplication technology is fast and very inexpensive.
Although not shown in Fig. 4, InPhase is also developing a portable handheld

holographic device for consumer use.
10.3 Turner on-air demonstration
In October 2005, Turner Network Television (TNT) became the first television network
to air content originating on holographic storage media. Engineers from InPhase
Technologies and Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) Inc. ingested a promotional
advertisement into an InPhase’s TapestryTM holographic disk as a data file. The advert
was recorded by InPhase’s holographic prototype drive onto the holographic disk
which was then electronically migrated to a server and played back to air at the
scheduled time. This promotional ad. remains active in Turner’s system and is aired
whenever called for by the programme schedule of TNT.
The benefits of the InPhase holographic solution, as described by Turner, include large
capacity, random access to content, high bandwidth as well as inexpensive, secure
and portable media.
10.4 Polaroid Spinoff Aprilis

Read-only holographic storage seems poised to take a step ahead on Tuesday, when
Polaroid spinoff Aprilis will announce that it is providing its write-once holographic
media to customers in Japan and Korea.
Aprilis, like rivals InPhase Technologies and Japan's Optware, are pushing forward on
so-called holographic storage, which optically records data bits in three dimensions
rather then on a flat plane. Depending upon how the bits are organized, Aprilis claims a
single 120-mm CD-like disc can store between 60 to 200 Gbytes.
Aprilis has begun delivering its Holographic Media Disk (HMD) media to a "major
electronics player in Korea and a few in Japan", according to John Berg, president and
chief executive officer of Aprilis.
For now, Aprilis is developing a method to allow manufacturers to write to the media
once, while permitting unlimited reads--similar to the CD-ROMs in use today. The
company's argument is that as more and more digital content is created, consumers will
want ever better quality, such as the digital cinemas used to show the recent Star Wars
film. That, in turn, means larger file sizes.
Today, DVD-ROMs are the most common form of storing digital content like movies,
and a DVD-ROM can store between about 4 and 15 Gbytes, depending upon the
number of recording layers used.
In February, nine of the world's largest consumer electronics manufacturers agreed to

develop blue laser or "Blu-Ray" technology, which would initially allow 27 Gbytes of
data to be stored on a single disc,. Later, the group said, 30 Gbytes could be crammed
onto a single-sided, single-layer disc and over 50 Gbytes onto a single-sided, double-
layer disc.
That's where Aprilis could come in. "We're thinking of the next step beyond DVD,"
Berg said.
Berg said that Aprilis has begun making media in low volume, and will move to a more
refined process in the second half of the year. "The media is available today," Berg
said. "We are producing samples now and are doing pilot production on our first
generation equipment now. Our second generation production equipment is currently
being assembled at Aprilis and we will start exercising that before the end of the year.
Our production rate is less than 4 minutes per disk in low volume."
Aprilis will also deliver its media in a card format, although Berg said he didn't believe
that form factor would be popular enough to turn into a product.
