With that, here's a full roundup of the best products we saw at CES 2013.

It's been getting tougher and tougher for hardware manufacturers to distinguish their laptops, tablets, and smartphones, but a select few managed to do just that-and in a really good way. But it turns out some really impressive technology hit the show floor. That brings us to this year's CES, which was a little bizarre, given the lack of Microsoft, Qualcomm's insanely bad keynote, and the overall "been-there, done-that" feeling. Obviously, as a society, we're still inventing new things. Duell, the commissioner of the United States Patent Office, is purported to have said, "Everything that can be invented, has already been invented." This was after electricity, the steam locomotive, and the light bulb, but before airplanes, penicillin, the transistor, television, and of course, the Shake Weight.

Object storage assigns each object a unique identifier, enabling the system to search large amounts of data in a flat space as opposed to examining a complete storage index to find a specific file.Solid-state storage can scan petabytes of data at a much higher speed without sacrificing data integrity.Tape and the cloud provide relatively low-cost backup options for petabytes of data, but they are more often used as off-site archival storage rather than primary storage.Snapshots and other disk-based backup technologies provide a local copy of the data, enabling a rapid restore.Other data storage technologies can back up and archive at a petabyte scale. Storage vendors that offer petabyte-level storage include the following: Due to the continued rapid increase in data storage capacity requirements, it's now common to see individual companies and even single storage systems with more than a petabyte of storage capacity. Barely a decade ago, data storage vendors would boast of selling an aggregate of a petabyte or two in all of their storage systems sold.
