I loved Chuck Hollis' (EMC) blog, and equally enjoyed both Dave Hitz and Tony Asaro's responses. With EMC, Netapp, and another ESG'er pontificating on an issue, it must be good.
I was chatting with fellow ESG'er and avid HDS proponent Tony Asaro about an unrelated matter - how HDS has really been one of the few to take advantage of the V word - they use it as a differentiator on their big Tagma USP gear and it's getting them deals.
I remember him telling me two things - first, there was no need for tape, that everything would be disk.
I make a living in the computer world. I love gizmo's, spec's, and waxing ethereal on all things IT. I wanted to be a rock star, but this is as close as I could come.
Hitachi, parent of HDS (who I love - though they have their own marketing challenges from time to time), just announced an "enterprise" caliber 500GB SATA disk drive.

Computer Associates did it again - they have to restate earnings.
I've been writing a lot about virtulalization lately, and the process has been clarifying. I figured out a few things, such as the fact that none of the stuff we are talking about is new. Most of it is really old actually.
