I thought it was intriguing as well. Mini-SAS SAN? 48Gbs? Wow. I am still curious how it will implement in the real world, at their booth I think it was running MetaSAN or SanMP. I asked if it could run XSAN and they said "Maybe, we got that working in the lab with some hacks."

Similarly interesting was ExaSan's PCIE SAN, at speeds up to 20Gbs. Again I'm not sure how it will work in the real world, and both I think currently suffer from short cable lengths, but that will all change with PCIE 3.0 soon.
I think the industry is saying that Thunderbolt is not fast enough ;)
