Tape is not dead, vows HP's storage sales chief

The world is a business, what would you expect from a corporation?

Gonzalez is not an opportunist he is just in charged of some great technology thats being used by stupid people the wrong way. Storage will keep growing hopefully in a more useful way than storing dead chicken data. Teach the young so they can use it better than the goverment expamples Mr. Gonzalez shows.

In case you are unfamiliar with Earth culture, the opening comments about SOx and chickens employ a mechanism known as "humor".

As to why HP holds the greatest market share, it's due to superior products and technology. Lord knows, it's not their marketing. If HP sold sushi, they would unfortunately market it as "cold, dead fish".

Keeping archived data on spinning disk is expensive in many respects. It's stupid not to spool it off to less expensive tape.

I can't imagine this somehow...
