I am thinking on using blade system for load balancing and storage solution for information security/base.

QUESTION:

I am thinking on using dell blade and storage solutions for web hosting business. I am interested in installing FreeBSD in blade servers and storage solutions. I am thinking on using blade system for load balancing and storage solution for information security/base. Is it possible to use FreeBSD in blade servers. My second question would be, is it possible to connect storage solution to freebsd setups as a hdd.
I want to use blade servers as a computing power and storage solution as hdd.
With this way, i believe it will be possible to extend storage and servers easly. Any input on this ?

ANSWER:

I can probably give you some input on this next week. We're actually buying Sun Blade 8000 and 6000 models, but mainly to be able to say we actually looked at something else, Dell is coming onsite here to give us a presentation of their blades. Since they're just individual pc's loaded in a chassis, I'd expect it to work fine, but I can ask.
