Joe Van Dyk: Apple’s XServe RAID has the storage, but not the processor.

Anyone know of a x4500-like device that costs less and has room for half the storage?

$33k for 14 terabytes is a little more than we need, but $15k for 6 terabytes would be a lot better.

Site note, in IE your blog first page has the content under the navigation area. Once you click through to a story the formatting is fixed.

Sun wants customers who will standardize on their technology. Joyent has seen the light, and in my opinion is blazing a trail which many other companies will follow. My prediction is that Sun will begin selling direct.

24 Terabytes sounds like plenty of storage for strongspace. I wonder if Sun has listened to Joyent about customer service. Have they started to sell direct? Will they start to do that in the future?

I’m not sure I understand… You just marched around Sun corporate looking for boxes of their equipment? Is this fairly standard practice, or do you guys have some significantly over-sized cojones?

They’re on the Try-n-Buy list, I’ve been told.

Not sure that helps if there physically aren’t any units, mind

Hey I was at Sun too yesterday! Only I was for the Summer Intern Research Seminar. Those guys had some really cool demos over at Building 16. If only I could have run into Jason in the hallways. Dang!
