It doesn't seem like much of a drawback -- although it
may be for some smaller sites. I see AR clusters going in
in local high schools and small universities.
Which is all fine and dandy if you have a green field, or are willing to
re-architect your systems. We just wanted to add a couple more x4540s!
Hi, same here, it's a sad news that Oracle decided to stop x4540s
production line. Before, ZFS geeks had choice - buy 7000 series if you
want quick "out of the box" storage with nice GUI, or build your own
storage with x4540 line, which by the way has brilliant engineering
design, the choice is gone now.
