The proble= m is that they are big supporters of both IBM and FreeBSD but they do not = seem to work too well together. They are reporting problems at the RAID an= d hence, a massive slow down in performance. I notice from your vendor list that IBM is not mentioned. Is this because = your product hasn't been tested with IBM or are there any case studies or = models that you could provide to me to show that FreeBSD can work on certa= in IBM servers. Any advice or information would be greatly received.
