Multi-level mass store implementation
J.F. Leighton · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1977
The National Magnetic Fusion Energy Center is currently installing a very large mass data storage system. The storage system will comprise three distinct levels: magnetic disk, a CDC 38500 Mass Storage Facility, and high density 10/sup 1///sub 2/-inch reel magnetic tape. The resulting storage facility will emphasize the best characteristics of each level while masking the weaker characteristics. The goal is to give the overall system the performance and reliability of a magnetic disk system, the capacity of the CDC 38500 system, and the off-line archival storage characteristic of magnetic tape. 2 figures.
