Michael Thomas' invention of photon induced electric field poling of a ferroelectric molecule or " Atomic Switch " is a first for Mankind.

The US Patent office says Michael E. Thomas is the first person in USPTO history to teach the art of a Non-Contact optical tuning method using photon induced electric field poling of a ferroelectric molecule used as an " Atomic Switch ", i.e., first-to-invent and first-to-file for a unique device.

Colossal's Licensed Nanotechnology will allow the company to be a yearly Multi Billion Dollar disruptive, exotic, and cutting edge company.

3 of America's Top Universities and Scientist are working on completion of " Proof of Concept " ferroelectric materials used in the patented UV Atomic Holographic 2D / 3D Optical Storage Disk Drive.

2 Exabytes (2 billion gigabytes) of NEW data in 2001 and 5 Exabytes (5 billion gigabytes) of new data in 2002 was generated with NEW DATA Increasing every year world wide and growing at 30% every 4 months.

State of the Art and Future Predictions by the Industries Elite can only attain 100 gigabits/sq.in..

The company wants to also start off with a drive product that will increase data transfer bandwidths (EBODS - Extreme Bandwidth Optical Data Storage) to at least 1000 gbits/sec and going up from there.

Colossal Storage wants its 3D Volume Holographic Optical Storage to be an " ALL IN ONE " Storage Solution replacing RamDrive,MagRAM Drive, Ovonic Drive, 2D Optical Drives( phase change/MO/DVD/Blu-Ray ), Tape Drives, AFM/ATF and Hard Drives for " ALL IN ONE " complete system storage solution with a 100 year shelf-life.

Colossal's unique patented concept for a nanophotonic semiconductor integrated read/write head techniques will pave the way for 3D volume hologram optical molecular storage nanotechnology that will be equal to or greater than 1.6 X e-17th power molecules per cu.cm for over 40,000 Terabits/cu.cm. or 40,000,000 Gigabits/cu.cm..

Colossal Storage Corp. has applications from over 1200 post doctoral PhD scientist applying to do research and development of atomic holographic concepts for an infinite read / write random access storage peripheral device.

Atomic Holographic Optical Storage Nanotechnology will dramatically improve applications like 6,840 raw uncompressed high quality Video/TV hours, or 2,100,000 chest x-rays, or nearly 10,000,000 high-resolution images, or 30,000 four-drawer filing cabinets of documents, or 20,000 DVD'S Worm's , or 4,000 BLU-Ray Worm disk's, or 100 - 100 gigabyte disk drives on ONE 10 Terabyte 3.5 in. removable disc.

Why Rewritable Atomic Holographic Optical Storage Nanotechnology ?

-   It will have highest NLO analog / digital / optical capacity available
-   will have lowest cost per gigabyte
-   will have lowest power requirement per gigabyte
-   will have highest data bit density of any storage device
-   will have longest archive shelf life of any data storage media,
-   will have widest environmental conditions and tolerances
-   will be only technology that scales from nano to macro solutions
-   will have most reliable removable read / write media available
-   will be a non-contact recording nanotechnology for increased reliability
-   will have highest bandwidth data transfer potential
-   will be direct replacement for hard disk drives
-   will NOT have storage media destroyed by Infrared, Visible, or Ultraviolet Light
-   will NOT be effected by extreme high energy EMF or Cosmic Rays
    i.e. Solar Flares and Solar Winds for Moon / Mars Exploration
-   will be nuclear/cosmic radiation hardened capable

One 10 Terabyte to 10 Petabyte and beyond 3.5 in FEdisk would be EQUAL 1,000 to 100,000 Times the Storage Capacity of Blu-Ray, Disk Drives, or Tape Drive.

Thats 1,000 times any State of the Art hard disk technology with 100 Gigabytes on one disk. Hard drive technology will never exceed 500 Gigabytes on a disk.

Atomic Holographic optical image data storage bandwidth is 400,000 times faster than binary bit text processing bandwidths used in todays storage technology.

The company wants to capture .02 % of the $ 127,000,000,000 world storage sales market on its first initial product release.

The 3D holographic storage device already has 2 patents which are initially incorporated. The nanotechnology will be developed for removeable disk / tape / card / drum optical storage devices

Both patents covers techniques and functions for controlling ferroelectric high K dieletric perovskites's dipole properties which can be used for future optical mass storage of data. The patents deal with techniques for fast data transfer read/write control of ferroelectric molecules which have a persistence of 100 years or more.

Colossal Storage patents on a semiconductor read/write head for ferroelectric optical storage media memories promises to raise data storage densities at least 10,000 times or more.

In tomorrows internet SAN, NAS, SSP, Raid, and Jukebox market data transfer bandwidth will be more important than densities and Colossal expects its nanotechnology to be at least 1,000 times faster than any present day or future data storage technology.

Colossal Storage Corporation wants to be the leading provider of primary backup storage and primary online massive data storage technology for the next millenium 3D Volume Holographic Optical Storage NanoTechnology .

We are actively looking for collaborations and partnerships to help us develop and bring to market the World's New Unique Technology Leader in Data / Video Storage Capacity and Data Transfer Bandwidth.

3 D Atomic Holographic Data Storage

Bigger, Smarter, Cheaper - Demand for storage is soaring, but customers want vendors to deliver systems that are more scalable, easier to use, and less expensive By Martin J. Garvey .

Present day area 3.5 in. hardrives hold 10 gigabytes where future holographic 3.5 in data storage would be >10 terabytes or more,i.e. ( 10,000 present day area 3.5 in. hardrives or CD-RW, or 10,000 IBM microdrives).

The equivalent cost using todays pricing comparing harddrive vs holographic would be

100 terabyte removable 3 D Colossal HoloDisk/Drive will eventually cost $ 750. The removable disk $ 100 initially going down to $ 40

Equivalent Prices based on todays storage prices

10 terabyte Maxtor 200GB disk drive 10,00 rpm ----------------------------    $ 10,000
10 terabyte Seagate 80 GB removable disk drive ---------------------------    $ 23,750
10 terabyte Inphase 200 GB Holographic Replacement Disk ----------    $ 25,000
10 terabyte Exabyte 160 GB Packet Tape Drive ---------------------------     $ 62,500
10 terabyte Sony 4.7 GB rewrite DVD disk drive ---------------------------   $ 595,560
10 terabyte Blu-Ray 23 GB Disk Drive ----------------------------------------- $ 1,653,000
10 terabyte Inphase 200 GB Holographic Disk Drive ---------------------  $ 3,500,000
10 terabyte Sony 9 GB MO Disk Drive ----------------------------------------  $ 2,333,100

The price performance of 3 D Volume Holographics over todays storage peripherals is tremendous allowing new frontiers of personal and corporate storage to be explored.

Colossal Storage nanotechnology will also be the Only disk drive nanotechnology in the world that can Store Analog bit cell voltages from +/- .5v to 6v peak to peak in random read write patterns for use in future audio and video markets.

The data storage market is expected to growth 20% every year do to continuing server computer improvements needed for business and internet applications.

The mass data storage market is expected to be 47 billion dollars in 2003.

Internet web usage is growing at 2300 % per year.

Personal data stored remotely from the user will skyrocket, from 100 gigabytes in the near future to 10,000 petabytes definition in five years EMC story .

The present magnetic disk drive market area technology is reaching designed obsolescence due to the paramagnetic limit. Holographic 3D volume storage is the only future alternative storage nanotechnology moving into the millennium.
