InPhase Technologies was a technology company developing holographic storage devices and media. InPhase was spun out from Bell Labs in 2000. Their technology eventually promises terabyte storage. In May 2008[1] the company was due to release their first reader, tapestry 300r, offering a storage capacity of 300 GB, with transfer rates of 20 MB/s in read write mode. However, the product was not released by this target date, marking the third time the company failed to release the reader on-time after previously setting release dates of late 2006, and then February 2007.[2] As a result of these delays, InPhase was forced to cut a number of its workforce; currently there is no release date for the drive visible.[2]
InPhase Technologies currently holds the record for "highest commercial data storage" by achieving 515 Gbit per square inch.[3] of media. Most recently the company broke the 1 terabyte benchmark.[citation needed]
In February 2008, InPhase Technologies was granted a joint patent with video game company Nintendo for a flexure-based scanner for angle-based multiplexing in a holographic storage system.[4]
On February 8, 2010, the Colorado Department of Revenue confiscated InPhase's offices and all assets within as penalty for non-payment of taxes. The state intends to sell the seized assets at auction to recover the unpaid taxes.[5]
On March 18, Signal Lake acquired a majority stake in the remains of Longmont based InPhase.[6]
InPhase Technologies Group Inc.
InPhase shares its company name with a chiropractic practice management software company located in Rome, Georgia.[7]
