    What is "kit" in this instance?

    Could be any number of things, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit

    In this instance, I think it's most likely referring to baby ferrets.

    Dude, it's EMC we're talking about.

    Most likely the $1 million kit consists of:
    - A 250GB 5400 RPM SATA EMC-certified HD
    - A pair of official EMC plastic brackets.
