Christopher,
I like the section that dicusses how it "makes Citrix suck less".
I was thinking about a pair of these for (oracle mirrored) online redo
logs.
2 units of 1 GB each would have plentry of room - half for redo and half
for swap.
If it works really well, get a 3rd unit for swap alone - but it would
have to be on another bus channel.
this is where having multiple PCI bus channels (e.g. 4) really makes a
big difference.
1 for internel storage (ultra 160/m SCSI)
1 for external storage (fibre channel or ultra 160/m SCSI)
1 for gigabit network cards (and backup fast ethernet card)
1 for PCI NVRAM for swap and online redo
64 bit slots allow for (max) 350 MB/sec transfers. wow.
cdw has these (special order) -

the one listed looked like it supported a 32 bit interface.
$2500 each. ouch.
sounds like a good way of justifying an adequate number of hard drives
for online redo.
