Hie Electronics Tests 25GB Millenniata Blu-ray M-Disc

In robotic holding up to 100TB on optical discs

Hie Electronics, Inc., in long-term, scalable active archive storage solutions and manufacturer of the TeraStack solution, has completed robotic handling tests of the Millenniata, Inc.‘s 25GB Blu-ray M-Disc, a permanent digital archival Blu-ray disc to last centuries.

The TeraStack solution allows for application hosting, up to 64TB of data on online HDDs, up to 100TB of data to be nearline accessible on Blu-ray optical media, and unlimited data to be stored offline in removable/remountable intelligent cartridges. The solution is in energy efficient by using a hybrid data architecture that moves fixed content onto lower cost storage tiers, coupled with Blu-ray media that is used to store the sleeping data, which eliminates the need for HDDs to constantly spin and consume energy.

The M-Disc’s data layer is composed of rock-like materials to last for centuries. By etching into the rock-like data layer, a permanent physical data record is created that is immune to data rot caused by light, heat, humidity and more. M-Disc can preserve information, photos and videos for hundreds of years. It is currently available in a 25GB Blu-ray format, which would provide 25TB of nearline storage in the TeraStack solution.

We are very pleased to be able to offer our customers the option of M-Disc optical media for their permanent cold storage archive data needs,” said Patrick Humm, founder and president, Hie Electronics. “Customers who need to store their data forever will appreciate this reliable, long-lasting, archival quality storage solution.

Whether you are a business protecting regulated corporate assets, or an institution saving critical data, there is a huge need to store, access and save important information and files. All M-Disc products have been created and tested to ensure that they will preserve data for centuries, regardless of the environmental factors at play. We’re thrilled to partner with Hie Electronics and offer our new 25GB M-Disc Blu-ray as part of the quality TeraStack solution,” said Paul Brockbank, president and CEO, Millenniata.
