That is no longer the case. As we head into 2011 we see the majority of IT organizations adopting one or more forms of cloud computing. Because of this broad interest in cloud computing, we are going to use the next few newsletters to discuss cloud networking.

Putting SSDs in a RAID 5 array, for instance, may make the RAID controller the bottleneck in the storage system, in addition to ensuring that all the drives in the array could fail at that same time, since writes are distributed evenly over all drives, and wear-leveling algorithms on the drives cause all cells to wear evenly as well, meaning that if the drives reach their limits on writes at the same time, all the drives in an array could fail at about the same time.
