Pavlov's Whistle, For Developers
January 23rd, 2007
We just had to get the cleaners in to mop up our delivery area shortly after it was decended upon by a ravenous pack of developers – hungry for the boatloads of I/O their soon-to-be storage solution brings.
The cause?
48 drives of pure glory. It’ll bring blood to your ears…
...but the hearing loss is well worth it. Trust me.

Woah… that would have cost a few dollars.
Why on earth do you need this much storage?

How much did it cost? Zilch.
Sun’s been suprising me a great deal through the time I’ve spent dealing with them. They haven’t thrown a pack of commission hungry sales guys at us, their ISV program lets us try their hardware for free, they’ve shown an interest in more than just our storage requirements, and if whoever you’re talking to can’t get an answer, they’ll sure as hell find it.
That, and the transparency on the Sun blogs regarding their products have been invaluable.
