Do you think that you won't see SSD on i within the next 2 years? :)

Nope. Or at least not a decent implementation of it. Hell, I'm still
waiting for a decent SAN implementation on blades. There is _no_ reason
IBM should dictate the type of SAN sitting under a blade server running
i. VIOS abstracts the entire process away. If it's an AIX supported SAN
it should be an i supported SAN. i needs to talk to VIOS, VIOS talks to
the SAN. It's the same VIOS!
