With the inherently high I/O capabilities of Niagara, they could push some serious numbers with a solution like that. More speculation over at http://www.gaeltd.com/new-sparc-solutions-are-on-their-way/ The key for me is how close Rainbow Falls is to being an actual product, capable of being benchmarked. If it's close as Rock was, they could pull it off.
