Tim, I admire that you are able to keep your trolls on topic, quite unlike JZ. This is a clear indication that you are not yet qualified for the rubber room. If you don't like the simplified nature of the Sun Unified Storage 7000 products, you always have the option of building your own system based on your preferred hardware, and OpenSolaris (or Linux), just as you did before. The mere existence of these products should not annoy you. It seems likely that Sun discovered that raw Solaris and system configuration is too difficult for many "Windows" shops to grasp so they introduced a simplified appliance product line which is engineered entirely by Sun, and with a simplified administration interface which does not require a lot of training to understand. Since the product is entirely engineered by Sun, they can ensure that the provided disk drives and configuration are carefully matched (based on testing and analysis) in order to offer the best price/performance ratio.
