I was going through some old April 99 posts on the George Gilder thread, and thought this was kind of interesting. It shows how far Fibre Channel has come since this was posted. Fibre Channel is now becoming stronger than ever, and Intelligent Storage Networks, with Supercomputer like Cluster Networks, utilizing Infiniband (son of Fibre Channel) promise to spread their fabric outward over WDM to supercharge the edges of the net and power up new levels of ASP opportunities. There has definitely been action here. I think there will be much more to come.

I believe the most relevant technology is Digital Fountain, which allows you, with just six percent overhead, to install any file (assume a 6 gigabyte film or a 50 megabyte software suite) using any six gigabytes (or 50 megs) in any order with any delays. It's like a holographic file format. >>>>There will be plenty of room on the net for storage area networks, but the real action will happen on the edge of the net, absorbing security, identity, and robust downloads. I think that the storage area formats will be inherited from the net, rather than from the supercomputer center. In other words, the SANs will ultimately be based on WDM lambdas and IP rather than on fiber channel protocols.<<<<
