Chapter 14

Just Over the Horizon

Abstract

As we look out to the 5-year horizon and beyond, new technologies threaten to impact the direction of storage even further. We see alternatives to negative-AND (NAND) in the solid-state storage space, while computing itself may see a fundamental shift away from silicon.

The previous chapter looked at some key technologies that are in early production or just about to become so. These technologies all will enter the mainstream by the end of 2017 or earlier and each will change storage networking in a major way.
The technologies in this chapter are very much still in the R&D lab. Each of them is getting a lot of attention ...
