Talked to a vendor recently who's building something NetApp like based on FalconStor's product. (The NetApp won't do what he needs for distributed database storage). I hadn't heard of it but it looks pretty interesting. See http://www.falconstor.com/. It appears to collect IP- or FC-connected back-end storage, then offer it as a virtualized service to client machines over IP or FC. The online product description indicate it runs on a few variants of Lunix, and has client machine drivers for DOS, Lunix, and Solaris. No BSD for either the server platform nor client drivers. Bummer. Seems like an ideal system in a decent-sized ISP environment or good sized server shop. And I expect BSD's superior networking wouldn't slow it down as much as the Lunix stack. Just curious if any BSDers have played with it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
