Mr. J.Fieb, It seems the beauty of intelligent storage devices populating a network, is when accessing/crunching information for answers, you could be harnessing the power of hundreds of storage computers working on your requests, versus the current method of tapping into dumb devices that send raw information flooding back to you through a server to one CPU for processing. It seems that the potential of SANs to turn the internet into a new type of supercomputer is really exciting. It makes sense that if stored information is preprocessed to be more intelligent data before bouncing onto the network that whole networks would become smarter and there would be even more potential for "Software Agents" to go around the net quickly gathering and processing data for you and also raising the level of the network. Keep this great information coming. It is greatly appreciated.

From your post:
"Modern disk drives, controllers, and storage subsystems are
powerful computers in their own right with advanced processors,
memory, and control software. Some advocate the migration of
application, operating system, and database functionality from the
host to the storage subsystem. Concurrent with this is the
evolution of storage subsystems from being host-based to
network-based. This presentation will focus on the appropriate level
of functionality to implement in a network connected storage
subsystem. Key issues covered include:
· Trade-offs between functionality, performance, data availability
and reliability
· Principle of functionally autonomous disks"
