Storage is all about speed and selectivity. Two Nobel price winners already solved most of the problems about size and energy reduction. No need for Oracle to re-invent the wheel. Nobody solved the problem about speed. I/O throughput. Compression will not solved this (probably the contrary), partitioning will not solve energy problems (will help, can help in selectivity). The “three tier storage” is just a PR re-invention of IBM’s disk data spread idea’s (data in the middle, in between and on the outside disk). The whole three tier idea will not solve speed issues and will not solve “energy” reduction. So nice packaged content without any solution. Spend your money in fast small disk serviced via a lot of channels. In the end this will outlive your license fee.
