I am interested in installing FreeBSD in blade servers and storage solutions. I am thinking on using blade system for load balancing and storage solution for information security/base. Is it possible to use FreeBSD in blade servers. My second question would be, is it possible to connect storage solution to freebsd setups as a hdd. I want to use blade servers as a computing power and storage solution as hdd. With this way, i believe it will be possible to extend storage and servers easly. Any input on this ? Thanks
