Hello Craig, (New topic since this is not about SRSS in local zone anymore)
Sounds like great news, thank you Mr. Bender :) Otherwise it looks kinda silly to take a new Sun server with lots of disk and RAM, and virtualization capable CPUs, say Thumper X4540 :) or the smaller X4*40 and X4*50 boxes, and instead of Solaris/ZFS stock them up with VMWare ESX (and be lucky to have a hardware RAID if available). (Anything about Xen suppport, though? Or is the purchased VBox the platform of Sun choice now? How do they compare?)
