FreeBSD ZFS advocacy

[k4t at 3msg.es]

Hi,

I'm proposing to a medium size enterprise to use a FreeBSD ZFS
installation on commodity hardware for a NAS/SAN storage implementation.

The actual implementation is quite small itself, around 8-12TB usable
space presented as iSCSI or cifs, for a TV recording system, with a
second device of similar capacity for a backup.

However, the organisation is relatively conservative, and little
experience in Free software, with a background of purchasing proprietary
solutions.  Part of this particular solution would be to develop
the organisations skills and trust in Free software solutions, to help
them going forward in purchasing decisions.

I wonder if anyone has any user stories or blog posts etc, that they
could share, that would help provide some corroborating evidence for the
suitability of FreeBSD for this use.

Thanks in advance, 

Kat
