It will be interesting to find out how they protect "terrabytes" of RAM against power failure ... it will take a very large battery to save to internal disk or over the network, at 1Gbit speed.... and against internal RAM errors. I hope that it is better than standard ECC. I think they would be lucky to get 10usec latency .... so I am not sure about "millions" of IOPs over 1Gbit ... even with multiple units.
