Mass storage: past, present and future

Published:05 December 1972Publication History

ABSTRACT

Mass storage as a functional need in computer systems is continually increasing in importance with the growing trend to interactive terminal-oriented systems, serving to store a systems data base and resident programming systems. The associated capacity, plus the ever expanding magnitude of such information, far exceeds the range where "electronic" memory is economically competitive. Included in the product category defined as mass storage are disk, tape, and card-like recording structures. We see in the future the perspective that at a growing number of installations all data will be available on-line under systems control.
