We are designing a server farm with diverse operating systems (FreeBSD,
Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT/2000) but the majority will be FreeBSD.
Can anybody recommend a high-density (fairly high number of hosts)
SCSI<->SCSI RAID solution?  Ideally we can buy a box, with redundant
modules, and can scale to about 20 hosts.  What are others doing on such
server farms?

We are already considering a NetApp but NFS isn't the right solution for
everything.

Thanks,

Tim
