OPTWARE ( www.optware.co.jp/english/ ), based in Yokohama, nearby
Tokyo, Japan, is a privately held company founded in 1999.The company
developed and patented a completely new form of storage, Collinear™
Holographic Versatile Disc storage, called HVD for short. HVD will
change the way businesses with mass storage needs or large data files
securely store, transfer, and manage them.HVD enables enterprises to
store up to 3.9TB's on a CD sized disc with data transfer rates up to
1Gbps.

Collinear™ Holographic storage combines many of the highly desirable
features currently found only in tape or hard disk like high capacity,
high transfer rates, random access, fast seek speeds, and permanent
storage (at least a 50 year life); all this with very low on-going
maintenance and management costs, and HVD is easy to handle and store.
