In 2019, Sony, co-developed with Panasonic, releasing its third generation Optical Disc Archival.[7] In 2020, Sony began shipping out the Sony Gen3 PetaSite Optical Disc Archive, a storage solution that can store up to 2.9 million GB of data.[8][9]
Roadmap
In the summer of 2015, Sony was scheduled to release a roadmap plan[10] to increase Archival Disc capacity from 300GB to 1TB per disc. Release timescales of the larger discs are currently unknown.[needs update]
Use
Sony expects the new standard to see usage in the film industry (such as storage of 4K resolution audiovisual data[11]), archival services, and cloud data centres handling big data.[1] The disc format is not intended as a consumer storage medium as of 2014, but is intended by the two companies as a solution for professional-level data archival.[2] In order to reach a larger capacity whilst ensuring higher playback signal quality, the standard will employ crosstalk cancellation and partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) signal processing.[1] Both companies will market the optical format under their respective brands.
Sony will be using Archival Disc in the Optical Disc Archive professional archival product range. Sony's aim is to create at least a 6TB storage medium. Sony (as of 2020) sells 5.5TB Optical Disc Archive Cartridges.[12][13][14]
An emerging use case for Archival Disc has been projected for cold data storage within the datacenter.[15]
