SanGod Shows RAID on a ThumbDrive

While the number of practical applications may be limited, some times it's just fun to think about what may be possible.
On this blog you'll find a picture of how somebody combined a USB 2.0 hub and four thumbdrives to create a 3GB RAID 5 array.
Mostly intended for embedded system applications, who knows what some intrepid soul might come up with for an actual application.

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
