[BBLISA] Recommendation for NAS appliance?

[Bruce Davis]

We have a Sun 7410 cluster with a 24 TB J4400 for NAS storage.  Out of the
box, it supports NFS, CIFS and iSCSI, FTP, SFTP, HTTP, ZFS snapshots, etc.
We're quite happy with the price, performance and support from Sun.

There are several options between a small stand-alone storage server (x4140)
and a 7410 cluster with multiple attached arrays.

Hope this helps.
