We have an Ibrix system and it only runs on RHEL. As a matter of fact, their client software only ran on RHEL until we twisted their arm for a SLES10 port (they refused to do 9). That only took about 6 months! Am I happy with Ibrix? What mailing list am I reading?
Oh, treat any claims of their feature support with suspicion. Such as individual file replication.
