"The new architecture includes four 4-terabyte storage systems attached via multiple Fibre Channel switches to as many as 20 NT servers, which initially will come from either Dell or Compaq."

J Fieb,

The Sun A5X00 line supports 800 GB to 1 TB of attached storage per NT server as up to four external arrays of 14, 18.2GB, 7200rpm drives or up to three arrays of 22, 9.1GB, 10,000rpm drives. It will be interesting to see the actual way that Dell is clustering both the servers and disks in their Powervault SAN. Some ways are suggested in their white paper on Dell's approach to SANs:

As we all know the switch here is Brocade's. It is interesting to see that they are using the G-port for tape back up.
