Tom has proposed that OpenAFS submit a hardware grant request to Sun.
It is believed that we can obtain up to $100,000 in 1U X86 boxes that
we could use for a test infrastructure. Sun may be tempted to provide
this equipment if OpenAFS was to state a desire to target OpenSolaris
as a preferred operating system for OpenAFS deployments.
Sounds like it might be worthwhile. I'd think that it might be good to
have a few niagara-ish boxes as well as x86, just on principle. But I
obviously don't know the internal workings of Sun, so I don't know what
kinds of proposals they'd be more receptive too.
