摘要:The high random and sequential I/O requirements of contemplated workloads could serve as impetus to
move faster towards storage-class memory (SCM), a technology that will blur the distinction between
memory and storage. On the other hand, the volume of digital data being produced is increasing at
an ever accelerating pace. Recent technology demonstrations indicate that low-cost, low-power tape
storage is well positioned to scale in the future and thus serve as archival medium. In this paper, we will
look at the implications of these technology extremes, namely, SCM and tape, on the storage hierarchy.
