For example IDC was once quoted as saying "75% of all servers shipped in 2004 will be shipped with InfiniBand connectivity." In fact that estimate was 100x too high. The need for InfiniBand functionality didn't go away - instead it was mostly implemented by on chip memory to memory access in multi-core processors. 10GbE also took a swipe out of the inter blade connection market. So today, InfiniBand is a small niche market instead of being the dominant technology which was once foretold.

Even the best backup technology can fail because of human error or faulty hardware. Thorough business continuity plans must take into account the need to retrieve data from damaged storage media, whether it is a primary computer or a backup device. "Data loss is inevitable because technology does eventually fail," says Bill Margeson, president and CEO of CBL. "However, data storage media can be extremely resilient and retain digital information despite considerable physical damage. Many businesses don't realise data recovery is an option when data loss occurs. Backups do fail, including expensive RAID storage arrays with mission-critical data that we see come through our lab on a regular basis." ...CBL profile SafeErase 3 for Windows Vista Berlin - May 15, 2007 - O&O Software GmbH today releases SafeErase 3 for Windows Vista.
