«Trends in Storage Technologies»

Please note: Last registration date is 21.05.2010.

This presentation highlights some of the leading-edge topics in storage technology research today. Starting from the archiving angle, we will discuss the future potential of tape technology and whether it will be possible to scale tape storage beyond the limits of 1-2 TB per cartridge, which are on the market today. Another focal topic will be online storage and specifically solid-state-based storage-class memory (SCM), which has the potential of revolutionizing architectures for data storage. In this context, we will review the application of Flash to enterprise storage and discuss high-potential follow-on technologies in this space.

About the speaker:

Dr. Evangelos Eleftheriou has received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, in 1985. On year later, he joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon, Switzerland as a Research Staff Member. He currently manages the Storage Technologies Department at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, which focuses on phase-change memories, scanning-probe techniques and metrology, solid-state drive technology and systems as well as tape drive technology. In January 2002, Dr. Eleftheriou was elected a Fellow of the IEEE. He was co-recipient of the 2003 IEEE Leonard G. Abraham Prize Paper Award and co-recipient of the Eduard Rhein Technology Award in 2005. The same year, he became an IBM Fellow and was inducted into the IBM Academy of Technology. In 2009 he was co-recipient of the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award and the IEEE Control Systems Technology Award.
