ABSTRACT
This paper documents an approach by the Department of Defense for solving the massive volume digital tape storage problem. It describes a computer network called TABLON which provides several trillion (1012) bits of on-line storage simultaneously to a number of dissimilar computer systems. Such a network has potential application to any company, major institution, or publicly supported organization with the following situations:
---they currently employ a number of large scale, third-generation computer systems,
---their data base is large enough to cause physical storage and/or access problems,
---their data accumulation is growing faster than their ability to pay for devices to contain it, and
---they have a strong desire to consolidate all their computerized information into one central location

SMR Disks for Mass Storage Systems
MASCOTS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication SystemsDisk drives have seen a dramatic increase in storage density over the last five decades, but to continue the growth seems difficult because of physical limitations. One promising approach to overcome the impending limit is shingled magnetic recording (...
