ActiveSAN is a server-based appliance that incorporates stunning Active Storage product design and the rock-solid performance and reliability of an Intel Nehalem server platform, in a 1U rack form factor. ActiveSAN utilizes the proven Linux operating system and the Quantum StorNext SAN file system. It features an Active Storage-designed user interface and management suite for phenomenal ease of use in deployment and management of the operating system and StorNext. ActiveSAN will be demonstrated at the NAB 2011 convention in April, with delivery of systems in the second quarter of 2011. Pricing and configurations have not yet been set.

I'm not a SAN expert but in the video, Grossman pulled out one of the eight SANs so I presume this means the 1U rack has 8 Xeon 5500 processors(?), which look like they could easily be replaced with newer versions. They also mentioned Interpool and other Active software products.
