One of my clients needs a new file server, probably rack-mount. It will be running ZFS so needs a JBOD configuration and 16G of RAM. The server will initially have about 9*6TB disks and expand to about 18 disks later on. It doesn't need a huge amount of CPU power and generally doesn't do much parallel work, so a single CPU is adequate. The client is a small business that doesn't have a huge amount of money so constraining the costs is important. If you have general advice about buying such systems then please reply to the list. If you sell such hardware and want to make an offer then reply off-list. Also such discussions usually end up with people discussing BSD for ZFS support. While some discussion of other free Unix systems like BSD is probably on-topic for this list my client can't consider BSD. If people want to discuss the benefits of BSD for ZFS that's OK but I won't be reading it. Thanks. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
