Database Servers: Hardware is america, software is bangladesh!

Know that the hardware is doing bulk of the work (99%) and software is insignificant. Anyone with a pc can create a database like oracle, sybase, informix, ms-sqlserver. Expect a 10,000 MHZ cpu with 12 gig cache in year 2012AD! Hardware technology is advancing very fast. IBM recently announced breakthru in hard disk storage which implies disk storage capacity will be zooming in coming years. Storage will be in the range of hundreds of gigabytes on single disk!! Every country in this world (including Bangladesh/India/Pakistan) can write excellent quality software but not all the countries can manufacture hardware! Do you know Internet is the world's largest software company! The sun will never set on "Internet Empire". Around the clock 24 hours a day someone is on the internet. Internet also is a information "Power House" for this world. You name it the info is there - whether it is music, birds, paintings, nature, software, operating systems, databases.....etc..
