"Openfiler saw open source - the Linux kernel - as a way for
enterprises to inexpensively yet efficiently deploy and manage
their storage networks years ago. And it developed an open source
network storage operating system with a Web-based GUI that worked
with any industry standard x86 or x86/64 server, which enterprises
could download for free. Several years later, Openfiler boasts more
than 1,000 customers and is busy developing new features to serve
its growing customer base - and both enterprises and vendors have
taken notice."
