John,
We have recommended an e7000 clustered gateway from HP. We are waiting for
management approval and currently have no SAN/NAS. The cluster nodes are
relatively high end dual processor Compaq, quad xeon capable boxes running
Server Appliance Kit from Microsoft and Persistent Storage Management s/w
from Columbia Data Products. The clustered GW with all the s/w lists for
about 50k, I think, but our edu price was much less. I believe IBM offers a
similar system called a 300G.

Thanks,
