Digital storage technology (i.e. hard drives, RAIDs, SAN, NAS, etc.) employed by the media and entertainment sectors has evolved at an incredibly rapid pace over just a few decades, and the price of that storage has also dropped precipitously as well. And, as the price per gigabyte/terabyte has fallen, and as tapeless production and post workflows have become the norm, there has never been a greater need for high-speed mass storage and asset protection as there is today.
