Nexentastor is a good product, buy it's just a software product and doesn't build a tight redundant configuration. Plus there is the whole risk associated around Oracle controlling Solaris/ZFS development and bringing it in-house which may mean that companies that built their business off open source Solaris/ZFS might not survive long term.
