“The @Usgsa The IT team saved $ 1 million a year, transforming 14,000 magnetic tape (70 YR for data for information), transformed into modern digital records.
Although the action first appears to be a logical decision to modernize government services, critics are in a hurry to show the benefits of magnetic ribbons on digital. The writing sent by the DoGe is several reasons to use magnetic tape, including inability to save information more efficiently, and the physical “AirGap” is not able to offer physical “AirGap”.
Back 2020, IBM has published an article With the amount of data stored on Internet balloons, large companies and educational institutions have become a ribbon-based warehouse for archival purposes. “In terms of expenses, the storage of tape is a gigabyte pennies pennies and does not require a different energy from ribbane hard drives and flash,” he wrote. “The information stored in the ribbon ensures that cloud providers will have the needed information when they need. In addition, the information recorded in the ribbon is still 30 years.”
Anyone on the Internet knows the frustration of old websites and offline social networks, and dip into a large number of people in effectively eruption. Some organizations like the internet archive, stepped up to protect websites before losing time, but an organization can only do it. Link rot, as called, the results of warehouse costs, but the magnetic ribbons are cheap in dirt. Today, the average magnetic tape can store 15 terabytes of information today, but IBM says that developing new bands can prepare 580 Terabytes. Contrary to the post of Doge’s post, Band Technology continues to improve.
Meanwhile, it costs expensive to run and heavy drivers can last for up to five to ten. Large companies such as meta and Google use raid backups to prevent data breakage and loss, but are still expensive. It is a kind of ironic that a group of a group that has discounted on government expenses compared to this action.
In a sense, the phrase “constant digital notes” in a sense is an oxymoron. Digital, ephemelicity – why some people still prefer to get physical copies of their media. A service is closed and your digital memories go with it. Xkcd years ago Created a picture Explains frustration briefly:
People often joke how the government uses heritage technology, but there is a reason. If it works, maybe don’t try and fix it.
