While I understand everything at Oracle is "top secret" these days.
Does anyone have any insight into a next-gen X4500 / X4540? Does some other
Oracle / Sun partner make a comparable system that is fully supported by Oracle
/ Sun?

What do X4500 / X4540 owners use if they'd like more comparable zfs based
storage and full Oracle support?
I'm aware of Nexenta and other cloned products but am specifically asking about
Oracle supported hardware. However, does anyone know if these type of vendors
will be at NAB this year? I'd like to talk to a few if they are...
The move seems to be to the Unified Storage (aka ZFS Storage) line, which is a
successor to the 7000-series OpenStorage stuff.

Which is not a lot of use to those of us who use X4540s for what they were
intended: storage appliances.
Can you elaborate briefly on what exactly the problem is?
I don't follow? What else would an X4540 or a 7xxx box
be used for, other than a storage appliance?
Guess I'm slow. :-)
No, I just wasn't clear - we use ours as storage/application servers.
They run Samba, Apache and various other applications and P2V zones that
access the large pool of data. Each also acts as a fail over box (both
data and applications) for the other.
They replaced several application servers backed by a SAN for a fraction
the price of a new SAN.
