They seem to reduce the compute requirement, but my comments about the need to have enough bandwidth to get there still stand. If you read the article, it says that caching solved a problem for CPUs, but that NETWORK caching could solve a similar problem for data centers. The NYtimes/GigaOM piece said nothing about Intel's data center project in the 90's. I met with Intel back then to look at buying their data centers when I was with Exodus, but that was irrelevant to the analogy in the article.
