Yes.   Now, the first thing I notice about the sun storege solutions is
that they don't appear to have redundant heads.   Is that a major concern?
how do you deal with it?   I have seen emc nas heads crash (and in my case
they failed over to the other head; I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't 
monitoring it.)  I would like to hear from a user of the sun product on the
subject.
