ABSTRACT
During the 1960s, most data storage systems used with mainframes and
minicomputers were the ones specified by individual computer
manufacturers.
Since those days, the industry has evolved into a worldwide assortment
of computer companies offering systems for a large, diverse mix of
applications. The impact on the market for computer storage systems has
been huge. Immense markets, divergent host system requirements, short
product lives for storage products, numerous storage company start-ups,
with valiant attempts to achieve storage product standards and
reliability.
All of our panel members have participated in the storage industry's
efforts to provide continual improvements in data storage products,
industry standards, and system reliability. Their leadership has made
possible much of the computer industry's movement to more flexible
interconnection of storage products and systems, combined with the
enhanced reliability of RAID technology, and the ability to quickly
utilize the annual improvements in disk and tape products. The panel
members will discuss the challenges, achievements and key events in
helping storage evolve into a modern industry.
