In the News Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz has an interesting blog entry about how Sun Microsystems will start introducing Nand Flash with ZFS as an enterprise storage solution by the end of this year. With the price of Flash memory already plummeting this could be an economical alternative to the expensive NAS solutions.

Storage is one area of technology infrastructure that has been seriously proprietary. ZFS has in it's short life already spread out across the BSD's Mac and possibly even Linux platforms. Nexenta and Pogo Linux have released storage appliances based on the technology. Exciting stuff when compared to the IBM, EMC, NetApp proprietary technologies we have seen to date.
