Is your SAN or NAS an Achilles heel?

Open source software (OSS) is firmly entrenched in the infrastructure of the Internet, and is now making inroads into the security market too. But although the darling of techies everywhere, OSS has its doubters. In particular, many corporate managers have concerns about support, accountability, and longevity.
