Agreed. For what you pay to buy one decent SPARC box with the right
I/O layout, you can probably buy an x86 server (again, watch the I/O
config) plus 2-3 storage nodes.
This is a PQ for a Sun T1000 from Sun's web site. It should make a
great storage node (I will know for sure within a month or so). It is
priced like any typical x86 server. Notice that the Emulex HBA is very
expensive (but this should be the same for x86 as well).
