Mempile from Israel has developed a removable optical storage technology allowing for the storage of 1 Terabyte (1,000 Gigabytes) of information on a single inexpensive disc. The device builds on the existing know-how attained through the development of CDs and DVDs, extending it so as to write layers upon layers of stacked information. This quantum leap in storage capacity (viz., equivalent to 200 DVDs on a single disc) will allow it to offer a unique and exceptional solution for the personal video recording, high-resolution TV, and archiving markets. The product itself will look and behave very much like the familiar removable optical devices; the disc itself is 12cm in diameter and made out of an inexpensive translucent polymer.

This is a news to me! I am using LayeredTech dedicated server for over a year and just today while browsing their new encompass console I found they have three nice buttons labelled Reboot, Power On & Power Off. Obviously I tried and it worked. Side effect: My backup got screwed up and I had to restart it :(
