Hadoop moves data from the file system to memory and between nodes and back out again.

But so will the addition of one megabyte of level 3 cache, as well as the Double Data Rate SDRAM memory with a 133-MHz system cache standard on all models.
New storage systems are increasing using flash memory for system acceleration, such as faster transaction processing and data base searches.
If desktop computers and terminals proliferate in hotel rooms and other locales, Dulaney thinks users could more easily carry personal data files and applications around in tiny memory cards that just plug into any available desktop system.
Using a combination of HDD and flash memory in either a hybrid HDD or a dual storage notebook computer, where frequently used data (and possibly the operating system and application software) is kept in the flash memory, while the bulk of user content is kept on the HDD, has been shown to provide about 80% of the performance improvements of a pure SSD-based computer.
Decoupling refresh cycles lets data center customers purchase server compute nodes, which are essentially very small motherboards (processor, system memory, boot environment, management, and connection to a local network fabric), separately from rack-level data center network interfaces (1GbE and 10GbE), separately from mass storage (hard disks and solid-state drives).

In a November 2nd interview, CEO John Kish explained that Pano Logic designed what he calls a zero client endpoint a device with no processors, memory, operating system or software that lets employees get to their corporate applications and data securely via the so-called cloud.

Getting to that stage might mean combining self-assembly methods with lithography, or doing away with the head that reads the data-packed disk and instead creating a self-assembling solid-state system on the model of Flash memory storage used today.
The development and implementation of new storage and memory architectures, combined with evolved storage system management can play an important role in controlling the growth of data center power use even as the total amount of content in data centers grows.
