Chuck Hajdu from Monthly Computer Chronicle recently reported on his week spent in Las Vegas at the Storage Visions and CES trade shows. Chuck had quite a bit to say in his review, but we would like to focus on his experiences with us and our products. Check out the summary below.
One of the main reasons we go to CES early is to attend the Storage Visions conference. This is the third year we’ve covered the conference just before the CES Show and it gets bigger each year. Once again it’s at the Riviera Hotel, just a stone’s throw from our hotel so that makes it very convenient for us to attend. Two of the organizers are Andy Marken and Tracy Laidlaw and they always do an excellent job.
There’s hardly anything less exciting than the materials and strategies for storing and backing up your digital files. Until something goes wrong. Then the lack of access becomes a central emergency in your life. The Storage Visions Conference is the place where the people who are planning how to keep us in touch with our exploding data and communication needs confer annually to share the current state of the art and guide the vision for next steps in the industry.
Millenniata had a truly unique product on display. Their M-Disc were developed in conjunction with LG and provides truly lifetime data storage. Unlike normal storage media, the M-Disc doesn’t use magnetic fields like many discs or organic dyes like regular DVD drives. The M-Discs are
actually physically altered to make a permanent record that never changes. Your data is literally chiseled in stone. Millenniata won the
Consumer Storage Award for Visionary Storage and it is well deserved.
We loved meeting Chuck and appreciate his write-up. Be sure to head on over to his site for other computer related chronicles!
