Well that answers the question and further amplifies the idea that the discontinuity in storage systems will be huge bandwidth increases, making bandwidth in the storage systems much faster than in computers and servers. This will benefit both SAN and NAS, and shift power from computers to storage. Some have referred to this as the disassembly of the computer, since with very wide bandwidth there are few reasons for keeping the component functions of today's PC in one beige box. And in another 10 years or so the bandwidth will be in everybody's home, some with fiber and some with other methods. Big changes are coming, and with them big chances to make money.
