There seems to be not very much that would be considered "filer" or "appliance" in SUN's new N8200. A closer loo reveals that SUN's new "filer" is apparently a SUN server and A1000 storage array bundled into one marketing code.

Don't forget Netra NFS was supposed to "eat Netapp's lunch", or so they said.
