Welcome to my pain. And I had to fight a war to get even that. How's it going to go over with the feds in this new political environment when I tell them all of that's obsolete?

So we run a 60TB SAN with 4 Xserves connected 2 metadata controllers, 1 file server and one Final Cut Server. I regularly use LOM to remotely reboot servers when necessary, and have needed to replace power supplies.
I currently have 5 Promise RAIDs, 6 Xserves, 2 fibre switches, 2 network switches, 3 UPS units, and a Tape Library in one 48U rack with room to spare. With the new system I couldn’t even fit the RAIDs and Xserves in one rack!
This will not go over well next time we need/want to buy an Apple server!
