The actual implementation is quite small itself, around 8-12TB usable space presented as iSCSI or cifs, for a TV recording system, with a second device of similar capacity for a backup. However, the organisation is relatively conservative, and little experience in Free software, with a background of purchasing proprietary solutions. Part of this particular solution would be to develop the organisations skills and trust in Free software solutions, to help them going forward in purchasing decisions. I wonder if anyone has any user stories or blog posts etc, that they could share, that would help provide some corroborating evidence for the suitability of FreeBSD for this use.

A good starting point is FreeNAS [1], a storage solution built on FreeBSD and ZFS. Even if you're not looking at using FreeNAS itself, there are a lot of testimonials and rationale for using FreeBSD as a storage system in general. You may also want to look at the FreeBSD advocacy page [2] if you haven't already.

Thanks for all who responded on and off list. I presented today and the proposal was accepted. The resources and amount and quality of documentati= on in the FreeBSD handbook was really powerful in demonstrating that a Free software solution could implemented and supported even though the organisation does not have an existing skillset/culture of Free software usage.

It has been sanctioned in the category of best server OS. Some other sites sanctioned together with FreeBSD.org are OpenBSD.org for providing a desktop OS, NetBSD.org for powering toasters, and nginx.org for an engine with an X (not sure what that means, anyone?). http://We.Are.Sanctioned.RU/ Regardless, everyone, please keep up the good work! And feel free to nominate other web-sites with #SanctionedRU! Cheers, Constantine.
