The replication et al is vulnerable to replacement at a higher level.
IOW, they can be done by the SAN, but there's no essential reason for
them to be done there. The only real part of a traditional SAN that
really needs the SAN are clustered filesystems--and that's definately a
niche in the overall storage market.
