> Actually, persistent storage is fairly hard in itself

Don't we have distributed data storages precisely because it's impossible to guaranty persistence locally? It's kind of a way to not bother trying to solve the impossible, but to achieve some guarantees on a different level.




That's one use case, but far more common is reducing latency and increasing bandwidth for distributed computing acting on a shared set of data.
