I assumed it was tape based as well, but this guy thinks its optical http://storagemojo.com/2014/04/25/amazons-glacier-secret-bdxl/ Paul R. -- Paul Roche System Administrator t. 604 714 2600 ext 2051 f. 604 714 2641 proche@rainmaker.com Rainmaker Entertainment Inc. #200 - 2025 West Broadway Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V6J 1Z6 www.rainmaker.com From: studiosysadmins-discuss-bounces@studiosysadmins.com [studiosysadmins-discuss-bounces@studiosysadmins.com] on behalf of Jean-Francois Panisset [panisset@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2014 3:12 PM To: studiosysadmins-discuss@studiosysadmins.com Subject: Re: [SSA-Discuss] So does this means it will be easier to lose more data? It is widely rumored that Amazon Glacier is based on tape libraries. I find that in the specific case of commercials, there's a sharp falloff in the likelihood of a project having to be restored after about a year: most of the data we archive
is never brought back. But no one is ever willing to (or has the time to) determine that "OK, at this point this project will never come back, we can just throw it away". The economics of tape a hard to beat in the context of "we need a medium that allows
people to not make decisions".
