Here are Sun's specs for the StorEdge 8200:

sun.com

I just don't see anything innovative here. It appears to be a pre-packaged file server running Solaris as the OS and a RAID 5 storage array with an ethernet connection.

This will not be a NetApp killer, imho.

We should see some benchmark results in the near future. I'll keep an eye out for them.

I appears that the StorEdge product is a prepackaged system composed of a Sun server, OS, and storage.

According to a Network World article (couldn't find it online, sorry), their boxes use a light version of Solaris, which means that it can be managed by Sun management tools. It also has a browser based management interface, can be set up in about 10 minutes, and operates on NT or *nix networks. Sounds competitive...
