Disk-over-Ethernet: startup trousers another $50m

The Register reports about Coraid collecting another $50 million of venture capital. Coraid is the inventor of ATA-over-Ethernet a way cheaper and simpler solution for SAN's then fiber-channel SAN. It will take some time and probably some patent fights but eventually this technique will come to the SOHO market too. Something that never will happen to fiber-channel devices because they are too complex and too expensive. Speed will not be a concern because 10 Gb ethernet already is around the corner.
