Introducing the FAWN

This is a "cluster architecture for providing fast, scalable, and power-efficient key-value storage. A FAWN links together a large number of tiny nodes built using embedded processors and small amounts (2--16GB) of flash memory into an ensemble capable of handling 700 queries per second per node, while consuming fewer than 4 watts of power per node."
