Storage vendors beware: Meet the biggest DRAM Flash storage on the planet!

The revolution has started and spinning disks will die. As large storage vendors will clamor for space and try to retain the existing customers, these customers would have kicked every spinning disk out of the data center. As Cloud comes along, we’ll have all those flash and stuff going into the large data centers. Which fool will want to buy a spinning disk for his server room? Not me!
TMS says it has sold it to a single customer and has worked with ViON to do so. ViON calls it an enterprise eFlash product and says the 100TB of capacity has error checking and correction (ECC), a roughly .072ms average response time, and is RAID-protected. Host servers connect to it by either InfiniBand or Fibre Channel.
ViON and TMS both says this big bucks box is optimised for enterprise, research, and government applications, such as large OLTP systems or data warehouses, real-time video on demand, graphic rendering, geospatial analysis, seismic processing, and high-speed data acquisition.
