the value of those was $2.5M - about like the Sun UE10000 numbers. so a backlog of 2000 would be $5B, which is a stunning amount...

Does anyone know the approximate $ value of these 2000 systems? Is it just me or does this sound like the start of another pool.... The total value would all depend on the configurations sold ... I've never seen any pricing numbers but I be guessing at $200K for a minimally configure system to >$2M for a full blown system with many terabytes of storage. So for my guess I'd say an average price of $750K times 2000 for a total of $1.5B. Robin
