Did you look at Nexentastor for this? You might need the commercial version for a fail-over set but I think the basic version is free up to a fairly large size.
12T, IIRC. That's not exactly great IMO. You get that with a RAID10 over two populated 16bay Promise chassis.
Ummm, OK - I guess times have changed... Is the commercial pricing reasonable if you go larger compared to turnkey hardware?
I guess it depends on your definition of "reasonable" ;-) The smallest silver-edition license you can buy is 1100 bucks onetime and 65 renewal every year.
Personally, I would really try to find the funding for a "real" SUN Open/Integrated Storage - even if Oracle have probably hiked the prices now. Those S7000s can do everything (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FC) and very fast.
