"Scale Eight wastes bandwidth by dumping petabytes of storage onto the Net and storing data cheaply in large storage centers built with low-priced off-the-shelf storage. Spurning the increasingly complicated RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) configurations common in the industry, it offers a local cache and a tunnel to an infinitely scalable storage trove." Sounds pretty rhetorical to me. After all, what are the large storage centers built with? Has anybody seen disk drive controllers for lamdas onto optical media yet? George D.

I let my Gilder subscription run out. There is more info on SI regarding the infrastructure of SANs and storage than in GG. But that doesn't mean that Scale 8 isn't worth tracking. I think Mulder of Yahoo finds them interesting. Gilder as a visionary was looking past storage for all this time. Never saw EMCs many years of success. He's arriving late to this party, but now that he's working on it he is always an interesting read. So now PRCM, Bluearc, Scale 8, etc. are what he talks of.
