I think the big opportunity could be in software too that makes all of this stuff work. But, I am not sure. John, there is an evolving standard called Direct Attached File System (DAFS) using Virtural Interface (VI) that addresses all of the issues you listed about storage over IP. DAFS/VI will reside on the network interface card and exchange storage data with other DAFS/VI agents over an IP network. It will bypass the TCP/IP stack, avoid the overhead of packetizing/depacketizing and bypass the OS file systems on either end. The result will be a very efficient means for storage systems to communicate over 802.3-based or Infiniband or FC networks. NTAP will be delivering products based on this new capability late in 2001. They are a founder of the DAFS coalition and own considerable IPR in VI through their purchase of a small company this year.
