Dare Obasanjo writes about the Dynamo storage system at Amazon, and how it provides services that an RDBMS really can't. It occurs to me that I should have asked the Gemstone folks about these kinds of issues when I talked to tem a couple of weeks back (that podcast will be out next week). I am no expert in the storage arena, so I won't pretend to know whether an ODBMS is a better answer than an RDBMS at the scale being talked about here - but it would have made a great topic :)
