Library of Congress Storage Architecture

In 2026 is there demand for 7X more manufactured storage annually and is there sufficient value for this storage to spend $122B more annually (2.4X) for this storage? Unlike HDD, tape magnetic physics is not the limiting issues since tape bit cells are 60X larger than HDD bit cells … The projected tape areal density in 2025 (90 Gbit/in2) is 13x smaller than today’s HDD areal density and has already been demonstrated in laboratory environments.

IBM is the last of the hardware manufacturers: IBM is the only builder of LTO8 IBM is the only vendor left with enterprise class tape drives If you only have one manufacturer how do you mitigate risk? These cloud archival solutions all use tape: Amazon AWS Glacier and Glacier Deep ($1/TB/month) Azure General Purpose v2 storage Archive ($2/TB/month)

Google GCP Coldline($7/TB/month) If it’s all the same tape, how do we mitigate risk?

The Biggest IT Failures of 2018

This year provedonce againthat IT-related failures “are universally unprejudiced: they happen in every country; to large companies and small; in commercial, nonprofit, and governmental organizations; and without regard to status or reputation.” Below is a review that just scratches the surface of the sundry failures, glitches, and other IT hiccups that made the news in 2018. This year saw a slight reduction in the number of flight cancellations and delays due to computer-related problems as compared with the past three years, especially in the United States.

Making the LinkedIn experimentation engine 20x faster

At LinkedIn, we like to say that experimentation is in our blood because no production release at the company happens without experimentation; by “experimentation,” we typically mean “A/B testing.” The company relies on employees to make decisions by analyzing data. Experimentation is a data-driven foundation of the decision-making process, which helps with measuring the precise impact of every change and release, and evaluating whether expectations meet reality.
