In the present scenario of information explosion nobody can demur that data is unquestionably the most indispensable thing in the modern world. Without this data, the whole technological development would come to a standstill. Data can be defined as string of meaningful and valuable information. This data should be assembled and stored properly in a media so that it can be accessed anytime, anywhere. The media first opted was paper. But paper has an unfortunate propensity to damage and updation and correction of data was too onerous. This exhorted the need for an alternative. Computer in this case has been a real bliss. Data is now stored digitally in an enormous amount at a less expense, efficiently and impeccably. The extraordinary ultra high density storage technologies that are emerging today have excessive and indubitable contribution to the future of distributed information networks.
