As some Sun folks pointed out
1) No redundancy at the power or networking side
2) Getting 2TB drives in a x4540 would make the numbers closer
3) Performance isn't going to be that great with their design but...they
might not need it.
4) Silicon Image chipsets. Their SATA controller chips used on a
variety of mainboards are already well known for their unreliability
and data corruption. I'd not want a whole bunch of SiI chips handle 67TB.
5) Where's the ECC ram?
6) Management interface? lustre + zfs... I'm already bouncing around
ideas with others about an open "Fishworks".. Maybe this is the boost we
needed to justify sponsoring some of the development... Anyone interested?
