Sunfire X4540; 4U, dual quad core AMD Opteron, 48 (count them!) hotswap
SATA drives (so can scale to 48TByte of space in 4U), etc etc.
When Sun came out with the X4500 I immediately said "NAS server". Then
Sun came out with ZFS and I said "Really, NAS server". Now I note that
the X4540 is marketed as "Simply the best selling storage server". Heh.
ZFS is really nice. If VMware was supported on Solaris 86 then I
would have built my own home server with Solaris rather than CentOS.
(Although I'm not using VMware on that machine, at present; merely
UserModeLinux for my protected instances). But CentOS is handling my
5*1Tbyte RAID5 OK for now :-)
