A short while back Spansion announced flash memory for servers. 8 times the memory per server and 1/8th the power consumption was the talk of the town.

Taking the flash memory they use in cell phones and putting it into servers is an incredibly radical idea.

Their innovation appears to be grounded in some pretty solid arguments, but I would like to hear more about how such a large company comes up with this radical idea and takes a plunge.

It's like they're a startup all over again!
