George Gilder has belatedly started to focus on storage. What he calls the "storewidth" paradigm derives from viewing the net as a planetary-scale distributed computer system. As bandwidth increases to the point where the network is operating as fast as if not faster than traditional data busses on most processors, the traditional concept of what constitutes a "computer" is exploded out onto the net. Storage becomes just another network service and one of its roles is to provide to the network computer the same sort of hierarchical caching found in traditional L2, L3 caches inside processors. If this is true, then processor independent storage must prevail the same way that SRAM chips don't particularly care what flavor of processor they talk to.
