The powerful tape technology can address data security with tape encryption as well as long term data protection.
Discover what disk and tape really cost -- and which solution provides lower total cost of ownership and optimizes energy use for your organization
The Clipper Group explores the truth behind the myths of tape, digging into the misconceptions in the disk vs. tape debate.
Over two thirds of disk-only users look to add tape back into storage infrastructure according to recent survey.
Sun has tapped Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to manufacture its latest UltraSparc processors, Sun said Tuesday.
The Taiwanese company will also collaborate with Sun in the OpenSparc program to expand research on the processors in Taiwan. The two companies plan to expand the university outreach program in Taiwan, as well as offer OpenSparc technology to other TSMC customers.
TSMC will manufacture UltraSparc processors using its 45-nanometer production technology, as well as future generations of the UltraSparc, Sun said in a statement. Texas Instruments, Sun's current UltraSparc partner, will continue to test and package the processors.
Sun tapped TSMC for production because of its lower costs, in addition to its advanced technology, Sun said. The companies are already working to make the transition to TSMC from TI as fast as possible, Sun added.
TSMC is the world's largest contract chip maker.
The term 45-nanometer refers to making chips with transistors and other components as tiny as 45nm, enabling them to be smaller, more powerful and energy efficient. The nanometer term describes the size of the smallest feature that can be manufactured on a single chip. There are about three to six atoms in a nanometer and there are a billion nanometers in a meter.
TSMC has said that some types of chips made using 45nm technology are generally 40% smaller than the slightly older 65nm size, use less power, and have 40% greater functionality.
Currently, most chips are still made using technology 90nm and larger, but the move to smaller sizes is increasing, led by high-end chips such as dynamic RAM, microprocessors, core logic chip sets and graphics processors. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, was first to mass produce chips using 45nm technology.
The move to developing smaller chip manufacturing technology is crucial to meet user demand for ever smaller devices that can do more, such as mobile phones with built-in PDA and camera functions, and digital music players. Chip makers can also increase output using the smaller technology.
