[comp.arch] Hot New Machines

The Apollo DN10000 supposes to have very fast hard disk I/O,
according to the DN10K literture and a seminar by Apollo. They
claim that in DN10K they use multiple thread to handle disk
I/O so that it's not only possible to perform parallel disk I/O
with CPU jobs, but parallel data transfer between disks.

Given the advantage of Apollo's networking capability, I
am leaning to the Apollo.
