Power-Managed Storage: Longer Data Life and Lower Energy Consumption
With escalating energy costs and growing power consumption, the utility bills at many enterprise datacenters now exceed hardware acquisition costs. This talk will discuss the reliability of high-capacity disk storage systems that are being increasingly used to archive persistent data over long time periods. We will cover how long-term data repositories using Massive Array of Idle Disk (MAID) technologies that power-manage drives can reduce the failure rates.
