few system and application design details obsolete.

Ponder what this shift means for OpenVMS and its network and storage 
I/O stacks, for scheduling, fast path and affinity, the new file system 
and related.  And for your applications, too.

This isn't fiction or future, either.   The HPE 3PAR FC SAN SSD storage 
arrays are just staggeringly faster than the old MSA gear.  And that's 
before any discussions of PCIe or NVDIMMs.
