We can build and run oAFS on white boxes a helluva lot cheaper than we can do it on purchased Sun/Oracle anything. I'm keeping nexenta in mind as a possible solution, but our next significant hardware/software roll is a year or two away. When we hit that point, we'll see what the world looks like.

Same for CMU and AFS.  (And I'm developing a rather strong hatred of Oracle
for pulling the rug out from under us.)
