I can absolutely see Dropbox, Google and Facebook creating a class of SSDful machines as a middle performance layer between RAMful and Diskful machines, but price point and storage limits have a long way to go before there's any wholesale replacement of diskful machines with SSDs.
Also, I'm really surprised there's a datacenter that has a meaningful amount of Facebook, Mozilla, Dropbox and Google servers in the same DC. Looks like someone might be trying to bolster their DC image a bit.
- davidandgoliath 14y agore: bolster their DC image -- equinix doesn't need to bolster anything. $166 a share: EQIX on Nasdaq. They're fairly well renowned for their facilities around the world.

It still seems like a non sequitur, as they are still competing with Raxspace among others. So why wouldn't they need extra press attention?
