"Aune said two types of data storage systems -- storage area networks and network attached storage systems -- are likely to dominate that market."

His terminology throws me a bit. Are "storage area networks" several storage facilities networked together to act as one? And, are "network attached storage systems" one storage facility with networked terminals?

He must be referring to the enterprise market that is about $4.8 billion in 1999 if it is still about 15% the $32 billion total disk drive market (according to the Disk Trend report we recently saw). This would put the growth rate about 27% compounded annually.
