: EMC's WORM solution using custom software and commodity hard drives. WORM is enforced by software, not by any irreversible physical change, which allows the re-use of storage space once data has reached its retention period and deleted. | : EMC's WORM solution using custom software and commodity hard drives.

: Enterprise Report Management - specifically, the storage of reports and records for an organization. The narrower focus of ERM is the long-term archiving, retention, searching, and retrieval of documents, primarily for legal or regulatory compliance. | : Enterprise Report Management - specifically, the storage of reports and records for an organization.

;Magneto Optical | ;Magneto Optical | ||
: | : A storage technology that uses both lasers and magnetic fields to create an optical disc that is both re-writable, and impervious to magnetic fields. Magneto-Optical discs have been known to survive catastrophic events like floods and smoke damage. | ||
; GIF | |||
: Graphic Interchange Format - a rather old and quite limited image format with limited colours (256) and relatively poor compression by today's standards. | |||
; JPEG | |||
: Joint Photographic Experts Group - a method of 'lossy' compression, primarily used for full colour photographs. | |||

;Tape | ;Tape | ||
: | : Magnetic Tape Storage - similar to Audio Cassettes and Video Tape, Tape drives use a long, thin ribbon of plastic coated in magnetic particles to store data. Tape has traditionally had much higher storage capacity than hard drives or optical storage. Around 2005, long-term storage on hard drives became more appealing as the capacity of a single device increased, and power consumption decreased. | ||
;TIFF | |||
: Tagged Image File Format - a graphic image format primarily used to store black and white or greyscale scanned images. Originally developed by Adobe, TIFF has become an international standard. | |||
;Tivoli Storage Manager | |||
: Tivoli Storage Manager (or TSM) is used to connect OnDemand to a wide variety of storage technologies, such as tape, tape libraries, optical drives, optical jukeboxes, or proprietary devices like EMC Centera. TSM has three main uses - Archive, Backup, and HSM. CMOD utilizes the 'Archive' component to provide long-term management of data loaded into CMOD. | |||
;WORM | ;WORM | ||
: Write-Once, Read-Many - a type of unalterable, permanent storage, primarily optical disks in the years prior to 2005, but also magnetic tape and magnetic hard disc drives. | : Write-Once, Read-Many - a type of unalterable, permanent storage, primarily optical disks in the years prior to 2005, but also magnetic tape and magnetic hard disc drives. | ||
