My recomendation: Freenas... It´s a lightweight NAS with freebsd and work very well... I had installed 4 VM with KVM on CentOS 5.5. This Freenas VM server iSCSI storage to 4 VM with Windows 2008 R2 Cluster FailOver solution... I installed Freenas ´cause I was needed iSCSI with Persistent Reservation on it in order to deploy Cluster FailOver on MS WIndows 2008 R2...
I hope this can help you too...
