[NPMUG] OT: Petabytes on a budget

[Marty Swartz]

I know that some of you out there have needs for LARGE amounts of storage.
Here's a company that provides unlimited (!) network-based storage for $5
per month.

I'm a bit of a hardware geek. I'm very impressed that they have figured out
how to build a 4U server chassis, and populate it with 67 terabytes of
storage for under $8,000. Yes, the comma is in the right place. It occurs to
me that there's likely a way to do this, or something much like it, in the
Mac world, and I'm not talking Xserve.

Interesting, very interesting....
