Big Blue announced a potential breakthrough in digital storage, with the unveiling of a new kind of phase change memory (PCM) chip.
Though still an early prototype, the chip demonstrated impressive advances over Flash memory, including a 100x speed increase, and a hundred-fold increase in the number of read-write cycles the chip can handle.
The need for fast, reliable data storage is projected to increase exponentially in coming years, as more data moves into the cloud.
IBM predicts that this new technology will cause a “paradigm shift” in data storage in the next five years.
