One of the reason being that disk fetch in a cloud is very expensive with the overhead of network,cache algorithms,OS etc. in the cloud.
Cloud and virtualized infrastructure is creating more pressure to get things into memory.
So what would be the future of memory management & GC in a VM on cloud?
I think this calls for processors which can execute byte codes directly! So we do away with abstractions of OS.Although we have appliances introduced into the market they are far from satisfying!

The Rise of NoSQL data stores
NoSQL is a movement promoting a loosely defined class of non-relational data stores that break with a long history of relational databases. These data stores may not require fixed table schemas, usually avoid join operations and typically scale horizontally.
Basically the data won't be stored as table/matrix as most of us have come to know how a basic DB looks like.Relational data is easy to understand for most applications but scalability & performance take a hit or its a trade off between convention over being faster & large.
Data processing performance & scalability,as most CS graduates would agree, is hugely influenced by underlying data structures like map,trees,graphs etc.The NoSQL movement is gaining traction due to the toll man's principle "Using the right tools for the right job"
