michael,

there 2 possible answers here.

    • if need right now, have @ supermicro storage bridge bay (sbb) server chassis (http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/3u/6036/sys-6036st-6lr.cfm).  has 16 shared sas 3.5" hdd trays, built-in 2x 10 gbe inter-connects , external sas connector allow expansion other jbods.  need add cpus, ram , external network adapters.
    • otherwise, need wait. what has been described ideal cluster-in-a-box not yet available (2012 q4 have read in other post).  ideal solution use sas controller has built high-availability functionality (what is/means no 1 sure).

personally, needed right now, , looked long , hard @ sbb , decided wasn't me, needed 2 x8 expansion slots chelsio t420 dual 10gbe nic iwarp/rdma , lsi 9206-8e hba (i have 3 jbods).  so, building more "traditional" cluster.
