In-Q-Tel Signs Agreement for Massive Storage Arrays

Michael Hardy writes on FCW.com:

In-Q-Tel, an investment firm that works in conjunction with the CIA, has signed a business development agreement with Copan Systems, a company that develops data storage technology.

Copan uses a technology called massive array of idle disks (MAID) to store what is known as persistent data, or data that must be stored but is not needed frequently. MAID systems activate only when the data is needed rather than being available at all times, reducing the power and cooling needs for a data center.
