Conner Storage

Consumer mobile computing devices have now become commonplace in our society. Net-books, Smart-phones, eReaders and PVR markets continue to grow at a record pace.

As the demand for these devices rise so does the requirement for smaller form factors with greater battery life. While flash memory provides some of these benefits, it continues to retain its high price point vs. traditional platter based hard drives.

Greenstor’s Metal Foil Disk (MFD) technology allows for much smaller form factors, lower power usage resulting in longer battery life and a price point congruent with the needs of the consumer market.

The hard disk drive (HDD) consumes 8 watts idling and 12 watts reading and writing information.  In Data Centers 1,000 HDDs will burn 8,000 watts performing no useful function and another 16,000 watts will be required to cool the units to prevent failures.  The US EPA reports domestic Data Centers will soon consume 100 billion watts of electricity costing $7.4 billion annually.

The 30 year old HDD architecture employs thick disks that spin at high speeds.  The continuing demand for greater "on-line" storage will result in HDDs becoming the principal power consumer in Data Centers.

Greenstor’s Metal Foil Disk (MFD) technology uses a disk substrate that is 30X thinner than today’s HDD installed base. The thinner the disk substrate, the less energy required to spin the platter. By replacing traditional hard drives with Greenstor energy efficient drives, data-centers can cut energy costs in half.

Exchanging data as personal and important as health care information should be secure and easy, such that the patient is empowered and can ensure information is available with the patient at the time services are provided. But today this is not the case. Often physicians have to rely on what the patient remembers and existing vitals at the time of the visit. In some instances, errors in diagnosis without complete knowledge of patient history can be fatal.

SmartCard technology, an ideal credit card sized form factor, is limited in both storage capacity and throughput. Typical SmartCards hold a fraction of a megabyte of data with antiquated readers pulling information off the card at modem speeds. With high resolution MRI scans starting at 5MB, todays solutions are not a viable option.

Storcard retains the industry standards credit card form factor while providing gigabytes of data storage with high performance readers over industry standards such as USB and Wifi. What’s more, StorReader is backwards compatible with the installed base of billions of smartcards.

As a society, we love data, digital data. We consume it, create it, send it, share it and rely upon it for virtually everything we do. The problem is we cannot permanently store it. We are now faced with the daunting challenge of digitally storing this exponentially increasing amount of data.

Nearly 40 years of storing digital data has passed, yet we do not have a long‐term storage solution that can be trusted to carry our data into the future, until now.

Millenniata's optical data storage technology is the first permanent, backwards compatible archiving solution for the digital age. Millenniata's Write Once, Read Forever technology provides secure, accessible, and unchanging storage for all types of digital data.
