Keep all your data on a hologram

Lucent Technologies is working on a new system, which sounds like something straight from the Starship Enterprise - holographic data storage. The technology promises to dramatically improve the performance of the Internet, video, data warehousing and games applications. "Much higher transfer rates are achievable because the data is stored and recalled in page format, which can be accessed one million bits at a time", according to Lucent. The high-performance systems will combine high storage density with high-speed access and fast parallel transfer rates. Contact: http://www.lucent.com
