Moore's Law and Storage Technologies

    Earlier, we examined Moore’s law in relation to competition between Intel and IBM. Today we decided to pay attention to the data storage sector and analyzed the Wired note . / photo redjar CC According to Moore's law, we should observe a decrease in the size and cost of transistors, but analysts and experts say that there is a risk of a slowdown in development. Today, technologies are on the verge of a new round of development, but for its full launch, a review of existing production processes at a fundamental level is required. This process is possible and it will occur, but at high cost, which in turn may well affect the final cost of production.






    Various experts are constantly trying to apply Moore's law to new areas of activity. For example, more recently, it has come up with its applicability to IaaS providers. Corresponding evaluations and studies were carried out here, which showed a partial correspondence of the actual pricing. In this case, we cannot talk about full compliance due to the presence of a number of independent factors that determine the pricing policy of providers.

    One way or another, Moore's law continues to serve as a kind of beacon, according to which it is possible to track and compare the achievements of competing companies. Data storage is no exception. Here, the revolution in the field of flash memory is in full swing - there are developments like 3D NAND and 3D Xpoint, which Samsung and Intel are working with Micron, respectively.

    PS We try to share not only our own experience in working on the service for providing 1cloud virtual infrastructure , but also to talk about various studies and innovations in related fields of knowledge.
