Although it seems your idea fell on a lot of deaf ears, I personally think
it's a great one.  It would give people a reason to use Solaris as their
server OS of choice as well as their fileserver/storage appliance.  It would
also give them something NetApp doesn't have, instead of a bunch of me-too's
(no, we don't need to start a flame-fest, it's my opinion, years of reading
this list haven't changed it).  As it stands, either you put your workload
where the disks are, or you're wasting disk doing raid twice.
