The document discusses the parameters for long-term data storage presented by Erik Riedel at a Library of Congress workshop in September 2012, emphasizing non-compressible data, high reliability, and projected storage capacities for 2012, 2015, and 2018. It details the performance, bandwidth, and cost analysis for varying storage capacities in petabytes, along with comparisons between traditional disk storage and tape technologies. The document also references the need for access to electronic data, highlighting the importance of efficient storage solutions.
