For the past four decades magnetic disks have been the primary storage location for online information in computer systems. However, disk performance has not improved as quickly as disk capacity, and ...developers find it increasingly difficult to scale disk-based systems to meet the needs of large-scale Web applications. A new class of storage called RAMCloud will provide the storage substrate for many future applications. RAMCloud stores all of its information in the main memories of commodity servers and uses hundreds or thousands of these servers to create a large-scale storage system.
