Hi Kat, I'm glad you (and your enterprise) are looking at FreeBSD!

A good starting point is FreeNAS [1], a storage solution built on FreeBSD and ZFS. Even if you're not looking at using FreeNAS itself, there are a lot of testimonials and rationale for using FreeBSD as a storage system in general. You may also want to look at the FreeBSD advocacy page [2] if you haven't already.
