Hi Kat,

I'm glad you (and your enterprise) are looking at FreeBSD!

A good starting point is FreeNAS [1], a storage solution built on
FreeBSD and ZFS. Even if you're not looking at using FreeNAS itself,
there are a lot of testimonials and rationale for using FreeBSD as a
storage system in general. You may also want to look at the FreeBSD
advocacy page [2] if you haven't already.

Best of luck,
Kevin Zheng
