  Napster on steroids? Microsoft is working on a mega-P2P project code-named 'Farsite.'
Time: 10:31 EST/15:31 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft Research is working on one such beast, a project code-named Farsite. The University of California at Berkeley--with backing from the Defense Research Projects Agency, IBM and EMC--is working on another, code-named OceanStore.

Microsoft's target for Farsite, Bolosky said, is a "large company or university, meaning an organization with around 105 machines, storing around 1010 files, containing around 10^16 bytes of data."
