Mr NetworkAppliance,
The NetFORCE 1000 looks like might fill the low-end server market that Netapp has conveniently vacated. ;-)
Did you hear this??? This is the same stuff I was preaching for the last 3+ years to any at your company who is willing to listen.

There are a couple of other boxen out there entering this arena too.
OSS has one as well, but the eval unit they sent us sure isn'tmaking our Netapps jealous. ;-)
One example that springs to mind is Procom's NetForce range:
They seem to be going after the workstation market with theNetFORCE 100. The NetFORCE 1000 looks like might fill the low-end server market that Netapp has conveniently vacated. ;-) Not much information is available on their website though.
I also hear a rumor that netSTOR are about to announce a nifty box in the sub US$10k price bracket. ;-)
Well, if anything, I hope that this will force Netapp to lowertheir prices to become more competitive. ;-)
