That market is an extremely interesting one actually. There is a mammoth unbelievably large market for proper data archiving. Whichever company comes up with a really good solution will make themselves extremely rich. All the current one really suck. (Robots pushing tapes around? Snicker, such barbarians!) Consider that insurance companies and in fact many companies have legal obligations to keep data for considerably longer than the entire history of modern computing. As far as I know currently the best solution is still the microfiche! Hows that for a thought? Some hacker 100 years from now may be bitching about how hateful the microfiche robot is while they are trying to convert it into the new fancy nano storage technology...
