Fujifilm to boost magnetic tape capacity 5x as AI data storage demand grows
Fujifilm will invest JPY10 billion (US$63.3 million) to increase its magnetic tape production capacity 5x by fiscal 2028, in response to rising demand for long-term data storage as artificial intelligence expands global data generation.
With the rapid growth of the AI industry increasing the need for long-term, low-cost, and low-power storage of vast amounts of data, magnetic tape and hard disks are re-emerging as core storage devices for data centers. Fujifilm's large-scale production increase and Seagate's improved performance demonstrate that the expansion of AI infrastructure is driving comprehensive investment and production growth across the traditional storage market, ex…
They were thought to be relegated to the computer archives. However, the magnetic tapes are experiencing a dramatic increase in interest thanks to artificial intelligence. To the point that Fujifilm plans to invest €57 million to increase its production capacity by five times by 2028.
Although data centers are experiencing a surge in demand for high-performance SSDs and hard drives due to the AI wave, the need for massive data storage is also benefiting traditional, reliable data storage tapes, which are commonly used for storing cold data. Japanese media reports that Fujifilm has launched a large-scale production increase of data storage tapes, a move rarely seen in nearly 20 years, and expects to increase its production cap…
