Tak apropos taczacej sie tu dyskusji zauwazylem pokrewny watek gdzie

Given that he wants a system to do more than just file serving I don't
concur with your opinion. A general purpose machine is probably
more appropriate.
I also don't agree that Auspex is the best file server on the planet
in terms of price, performance, and reliablility (customer service is
subjective). The top two fastest NFS file servers are a DEC cluster
and a Sun SMP server, Auspex is #3. For price performance or administration
I don't think anyone beats Network Appliance FASserver.
Auspex used to own the NFS file service market, but they have serious
competition these days. Most general purpose vendors now have highly
competitive products in the NFS market.
