Data storage device research and development is a race to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for additional capacity, density, and readout rates. Traditional memory technologies, such as magnetic hard disc drives, optical discs, and semiconductor memories, have kept up with the demand for larger, quicker memories. There is, however, compelling evidence that these two-dimensional surface storage systems are approaching their fundamental limits. Data storage in three dimensions is an alternate option for next-generation memory. The concept of holographic storage was first presented in the early 1960s, shortly after lasers were created, as the next generation of optical storage. Throughout the early 2000s, academic and industry research teams continued to make headway in showing the technology's promise. Although no one has yet developed a mass-market for this technology, numerous companies, such as IBM and Lucent, as well as organisations like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, are developing prototypes. Project Holographic Storage Device (HSD), a cooperation between Microsoft Research Cambridge and Microsoft Azure, reviewed this storage technology in 2020. The project's purpose is to use holographic technology to enable data centre cloud storage. Statista predicts that the amount of global information created in 2020 will be 64.2 zettabytes (ZB), with more than 180 ZB expected by 2025.Enterprises and cloud service providers must find a means to store all of this data in order to keep up with the inevitable demand for storage. One option is holographic storage, which aims to store a large amount of data in a small amount of space while also achieving high performance, availability, and durability requirements.
