Backblaze, Amazon S3 and Google Storage all provide great cloud backup capability.
What you need tho is the NAS to support sending your data to your preferred provider when required - daily, hourly and so on. Additionally, you want to be able to store that data encrypted at rest either locally and store (or optionally the unencrypted data) the encrypted data in the cloud as well.
Have a look at MyNAS Storage Appliance (www.mynas.com.au) as it seems to have the cloud replication, encryption and local data integrity part sorted out
ZFS on Linux (http://zfsonlinux.org/) is a great option via the great work done by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Also, have a look at:
http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Distr... and http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Compa... for solutions where ZFS is integrated into various solutions.
Similar reasons why I went with NCE as well. Interesting that you have a slower throughput than me, but given that your doing de-dupe (im not at the moment & no compression) it's probably warrented. Do you have an SSD for ZIL and L2ARC etc?
On the HP N36L I also had to update the bge driver as it didnt support jumbo frames even with manual editing of the files - now everything is sweet:)
HP N36L - 4 bay, non hot swap + space for 5th hdd in CD Drive bay space. If you want to use 2.5" drives, can swap that out for a 4 in 1 unit for 8 drives.
This server + low profile PCIe SATA expansion card running NetxentaStore Community (ZFS + DeDupe) accross 5 drives (3TB, ~15TB with ~12TB usable) + 2.5" boot drive + SSD gives me ~97MBytes read / write when exporting via iSCSI to VMware, NFS / Samba shares.
Have a look at Billion http://www.billion.com/
They may not be Open Source like DD-WRT etc, however for around the same cost as your Belkin, Netgear, Buffalo etc - they totally kick ass, and generally give you a much more feature rich feature set.
Some models are 802.11n + gigabit ports + DSL or FTTH + USB for 3G backup path if DSL or FTTH goes down. They have voice integrated models too for VoIP + VPN as well so they are certainly worth looking at.
What I would do is look at what you need in hardware terms to run something like VMware ESXi. Firstly ESXi is at the best price point (it's free) whilst giving you most of the VI3 capabilities.
The hardware that I run it on is pretty much whitebox hardware - Intel CPU (Q6600, 8GB RAM), Intel or Supermicro motherboard. The main requirement is that in order to install ESXi there needs to be a hardware controller that it can find and install to. Have a look at the VI3 HCL (http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=base&deviceCategory=server) to find your hardware to ensure things will run.
On one system I use an Adaptec 19160 to boot ESXi from, then use iSCSI to an OpenFiler machine where all the VM's are stored. The other machine is a Dell T3400 where the onboard SATA when configured as non raid / AHCI, ESXi can install directly to any of the attached SATA drives.
Another solution is to use an Adaptec SATA RAID card for local storage.
Does anyone know which actual line of HDD's this firmware difference is being found in? Seagate offer 2 different types of drives - AS and NS specification for the same product, where the only real difference AFAIK is that the NS class is rated for 24/7 operation.
There are other reasons for mobile security out there - especially in the corporate arena:
* Centralized Management and Provisioning
* Easy to Use
* Anti-Spam for SMS Text Messages (this is an emerging problem)
* Flexible Virus Scanning
* Rapid Virus Pattern Updates
Trend Micro has a solution for this already(Trend Micro Mobile Security), and supports the following Mobile Devices:
* Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE for Smartphone
* Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE for Pocket PC Phone Edition
* Symbian(TM) OS v7.0 with UIQ 2.0/2.1 User Interface
* Symbian OS v7.0s with Series 60 Platform User Interface
Yup - not far from the truth there.
After building a totally dedicated room in my house for HT, I will never look back. If its done right you can watch HD TV, Movies, play your gaming consoles all on a screen thats as big as you want (or your wall allow). My screen is 3.5m diagonal (unsure of the US conversion) - big enough in a small room for a big picture experience:)
A big con that isnt listed tho in your post for HT is the setup costs - to do it properly can cost you thousands - but it is all worth it.
Whilst spam etc and methods to control is always a changing landscape, I cant help but ask what about having a second mail server with a different provider to help combat situations like this.
Both mail servers could be setup to talk to each other via a vpn, receive / send email from either end. Inbound email could be routed using MX records, but the outbound queue's (where MAPS would be causing the problem) could all be resent using the alternate path in case of primary path failure due to the primary being on the MAPS list.

Actually there are BitTorrent downloaders out there that contain spyware. One I can think of right away is "bittorrent absolute downloader"
They have a www site to download from or via download.com
The installer contains a new variant of the AdBlast from 2003.
