The company I work for is restructuring the server infrastructure for a customer. There is a good chance that we need to buy two new servers for them, one terminal server and one file server. The terminal server will store most of its data on the file server, so dual gigabit is preferrable.
The terminal server is no big problem, there are good cpu servers out there that don't cost an arm and a leg. The problem is the file server. Basically what we want is a rack server with room for at least 8-10 hot swap drives (storage needs to be about > 1TB and preferrably room to grow). To save some money we really want the disks to be SATA rather than SCSI or the likes. I haven't been able to find this anywhere.
Anyone know where I could find this? Maybe a smaller manufacturer? Building it on our own is not an option due to the whole support mess it brings.
