enterprise and cloud deployment. With an estimated 80% of the worlds stored data now being classified as cold or archival, secondary storage represents by far the single largest storage category. The secondary storage market is currently shared by magnetic HDDs and tape, but the current rate of the HDD and tape roadmaps has slowed. As the zettabyte era accelerates, the issues of data center energy consumption and carbon emissions have become critical.
