DataSlide Information

Founded by computer industry veterans from Cambridge, DataSlide is focused on delivering break-though performance, low power storage for performance hungry applications that are now pressing the limits of enterprise Tier 0 and Tier 1 storage. DataSlide has drawn from LCD, HDD, and semiconductor standards based mature manufacturing process technologies to invent a truly revolutionary new high performance storage technology: the innovative Hard Rectangular Drive™ (HRD™). The HRD employs DataSlide’s patented Massively Parallel 2-D Array storage technology to achieve 160,000 IOPS and 500MB/sec transfer rates while reading from and writing to magnetic media. The HRD’s highly efficient piezoelectric actuator system oscillates rectangular media along one axis between a fixed array of millions of read/write heads on a single substrate of low expansion glass. In the first generation, any 64 of these heads may be active in reads and writes at the same time. Total power consumption for the HRD? Less than 4 Watts. That’s 1/3 the power of a 15,000 RPM hard disk drive and 1/2 the power consumed by a typical Solid State Drive. The Hard Rectangular Drive will serve as a key building block for the high performance, low carbon footprint datacenter of the future. DataSlide will have a suite at the Santa Clara Hyatt Regency Hotel during MemCon 2009, June 22 through 25, and will be speaking with potential customers, partners and investors.
