EMC Technology Leader Touts SOA over iSCSI
You might think the average storage fanatic might be all over iSCSI, but EMC's Mark Lewis says lower level storage protocols are not going to be nearly as significant as the advent of service-oriented architectures (SOA)
In this post, Lewis proposes that the rise of applications based on SOA will lead to the creation of "information services" where applications will store data in a way that is not tied to any particular protocol.
Furthermore, he suggests that some new type of service-oriented information infrastructure (SOII) architecture will the evolve to provide the ability to execute storage policies across hundreds if not thousands of applications.
Looks like Lewis is sending some pretty strong telegraphs concerning EMC's future ambitions -- Michael Vizard
