Whether you have realized it or not, silently many companies are trying to build on a new system for reliable and more efficient storage.
Drop this idea if you're looking for a penny wise idea. Definately this is not one. You gotta spend ten times more, to get 10 times of speed and everything that a storage specialist has been looking for.
Natively SATA is slow and solid state devices like flash memory chips are not.
But, that aint the only reason why companies are adapting towards this.
Few things Tim cook shared at the D10 interview on Steve Jobs,
Lazer focus
Steve Jobs always mentiones that 'Focus is the Key' and this is one strategy that has brought back Apple to the game from its gallows.
Flip 180
Steve Jobs is renowned for his ever changing arguments. Someday he might have spoke something, and the very next day he could say a totally Opposite thing and he could justify that. Tim Cook considers this to be a gift in Steve Jobs.
Future Focus
Either its a failure or success, forget it and move on. Do not focus on the past. If you have made a big good product in the past, then focus on the next big thing.
Don't ask yourselves a question that 'What would steve do?' Always do what you think is the right thing.

Came across a good article about things that one must consider while moving to Cloud.
There are still numerous factors that will influence Cloud though, but these six points are the common sense that one must posses before taking any serious decisions about cloud.
1. Uptime and SLAs
This would basically provide you info on how the provider has been, and enable you to make a projection to establish the character.
2. Cloud choice
Cloud is basically loosely coupled with respect to commiment. As a startup you can start your business on one cloud provider and then move to another premium provider as your business progresses. Migration from one cloud provider to another must be possible. Infact, quite easily.
3. Deployment model
You can totally utilize cloud the way you want. By default cloud comes with a variety of deployment model, like ... public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud... it does not end there... if infrastructure is the key, Workload is the door. Depending upon the workload of a particular application you might choose to keep some on your data center and few on the cloud. Think of a variety of scenarios before even migrating to Cloud.
4. Cloud Expertise
Engineers at your office are great, but engineers at Cloud service providers are greater. By adopting to cloud, you get the opportunity to get connected with a bunch of beautiful brains. Collective inteligence.
5. Customers
Bettet the service, the better would be the feedback. In this social networking world, feedbacks are revenues.
6. Cost
Cost also influences the decision. Think twice, act wise.
