Cutting edge Technologies

SONET: currently at 10GBps, it's not as fast the 1TBps achieved by Fujitsu, but this still enables you to download data faster through the network than from your hard disk! Ideal for Virtual Reality apps.
FibreChannel: promises to be the way to go for ultrafast I/O
RAID Level 5 disk storage
64 bit Oracle database: Totally destroys 32-bit Oracle7.
MPEG-2: incredible video compression. Like that, how many movies can you fit in one CD?
The Alpha 21164 processor: currently at 333 MHz, it leaves the rest eating dust.
The Raptor 3 Workstation: running on Alpha 21164 (above), it's the greatest Windows NT workstation ever
Holographic storage: where iron-doped crystals (eg, Strontium Niobate) the size of a pack of cards would hold 1TB of data
Protein Memory - where "cubettes" 1"x1"x2" are expected to hold Gigabytes (Byte Apr96)
Quantum Computers- where single atoms are deployed, and raw processing speeds expected to reach 1GHz (Byte Apr96)
