[SGVLUG] Storage - NAS / SAN, ZFS - what's your experience with them?

[matti]

Hi,

So I am looking at an affordable storage solution for a small business environment.

Curious what others have experienced in this arena

Digging about wondering what would be the best solution on 

a budget and noticed a few interesting references:

freeNAS vs Open Solaris ZFS: ( this is from 2010.. so it maybe a bit
dated.. freeNAS is based on FreeBSD and the newer versions should
do better with ZFS,,also note they use iSCSI )

Hmm... Nexenta OS wonder how good that is...
