Hi there. I work for a little start-up company that sells consumer backup and supports an open source project.
The consumer backup company is http://allmydata.com . The open source project is http://allmydata.org . We started out using Supermicro 1U servers, and we just lit up our first Thumper a few days ago. For the next round of hardware I'm actually looking at some Hewlett Packard 2U servers. I would be interested in using Sun kit, but currently they don't have the the right feature for us (which is number-of-SATA-connections-per-dollar). The open source project works on Solaris -- there is a Solaris buildslave (actually Nexenta) which runs all the unit tests on every check-in. Be warned that this is a small project, and so there are many features and performance goals which are missing. It hardly looks like a unix filesystem at all. It looks more like a RESTful Storage Cloud. Help wanted!
