Performance Gap
CPU performance up 10x this last decade
Storage has grown capacity but unable to keep up in performance
Systems are now Latency & IO bound resulting in significant performance gap
From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year*
…and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period **
