Re: RAC in NAS

	Unfortunately, I don't think they can run AIX on Intel Xeon64 CPUs. And the AIX license will cost more than buying SAN and sending the NAS in the garbage can. That's why I was wondering for Linux :)
	Anyway, now they know that they have to ask first, then buy. Just someone's head will roll out of the office.
