Introduction
Data storage has been a fundamental part of computing fromthe beginning. The technology for data storage has beenevolving along side other areas of computing technology. Asthese other areas of technology have developed the need for
bigger and faster storage has been evident. To meet the needfor better storage new technologies are constantly beingdeveloped as the old technology reaches it's physical limits andbecomes outdated. Currently there are several new
technologies being researched as possible replacements forcurrent storage devices.

Holographic Storage - HVD's
Potential to replacement
technology in currentdomains of magnetic andoptical storage technology.Resembles Optical Discs
similar to CD or DVDMuch high data density thencurrent optical disctechnologyCan read and write data in
parallel allowing for muchhigher data transfer speeds

Holographic Storage - HVD's
Uses a reference beam and a data beam to create aninterference pattern.
Write Sequence:
the intersection of the two beams causes a change,which is then storedRead Sequence:
actions of the reference beam and storedinterference pattern is recreates the data beam

Reasons for Developing HolographicStorage
Replacement as a backup mediaHigher data density than tape and current Hard DrivesData is stable for an estimated 50 years withoutdegrading
Faster read and write speedsReplacement for DVD
Higher data density than Blu-RayFaster read and write speeds
Higher ceiling for max data storage capabilityIncreasing resolutions for TVs will require more storagefor movies and games

Benefits of Holographic Storage
Theoretical data storage of >1TB/cubic centimeter
Current technology can store approximately 4TB on aDVD sized disc
Data longevityData security
WORM (Write-once read-many) prevents data frombeing overwrittenFaster Read/Write speeds
Data can be read and written in parallel instead oflinearly
Higher speeds are necessary as storage amountsincrease

Drawbacks of Holographic DataStorage
Not a guaranteed market leaderIf another technology becomes the industry standardthen read/write equipment will be hard to find
Expensive development
Existing technology is becoming better and cheaperIt is difficult to market a product that is more expensiveper GB of storage.

General Electric
In the process of developing a new holographicoptical storage disc, which would support up to500GB of data.GE is also looking to produce a holographic
medium able to store more than 1 Terabyte of data.

Where Holographic Storage is headed
Developed by inPhase, Aprilis, Optware, GEAprilis website hasn't been update in over 2 yearsThe advancements in existing technologies forcedcompanies into niche markets that required large data
storage and fast read/write timesNintendo has investments in Holographic storage tech
At current time the future of holographic storage is bleakAs existing techologies hit their peak the market mayopen back up for holographic storage

Potential Competitors
Similar technologies that may end up in a "format war"UV or X ray discs
Utilizing a laser with a smaller wavelength allows forgreater storage
3D optical discsStores data in three dimensions for greater datadensity

Conclusion
In conclusion, Holographic Storage has the advantage overother storage mediums as it relates to:
Storage CapacityTransfer Rate
BackupIts main disadvantage is its cost of ownership.
Keep in mind, when Blu-ray was Introduced in 2006, a 25-gigabyte disc cost nearly $1 a gigabyte. Its about half thecost now. Overtime, the overall cost of holographic datastorage should decrease to an acceptable amount.
