Flash data storage: Knocking TAPE off the archiving top spot

Kingmaker

Hmm...

"The key to this approach will be surfacing metadata, currently buried on tape cartridges, to a flash layer that can signal the location of desired data on the tape. Combined with linear tape file system technology, we believe this approach will deliver better business value for the right use cases."

- Methinks Quantum can already do all of that with their StorNext FS and Storage Manager.
