Why exactly will this not run on an x4500? The idea behind buying them was ZFS would run on any x86 hardware and the x4500 would run more than just Solaris. This flexibility is important. I can certainly understand wanting to have full control of hardware to software for an integrated NAS device, but this looks like a nice management application built on top of OpenSolaris and other open source software. What hardware is required to upgrade the x4500 to the same functionality?
