I do think these guys will be bought. As for faster storage versus cloud storage, I'm not sure what you're asking. Storage is storage. Information has to reside somewhere and even in the "cloud" it's sitting in a box in a data center.</p> J Dawg, I’ll have to talk to RNA Networks, but they look like they’re focused on more than just storage and accessing stored data.

Surely, these startups will be bought up or the big guns will come up with their own caching solutions.

“its software laid over high-density disks”

— what exactly is that? Pleaase all of you non tech folks pretending to understand technology — please stay away from it and let the geeks handle it. You non techie folks have scrwed up things enough allready..

I am guessing enterprise, though. Cloud storage is nice for consumers, but for the guys serving up the videos we're watching or the traders trying to access reams of financial data, access to stored data ASAP is the problem.</p> Dave, Gear6 is high-end, and Atrato isn’t giving a lot of detail yet about its end market.
