    Dell has partnered with Nexenta and provided blessed hardware which was
    designed to run Illumos.  You can ask your Dell sales person to spec
    hardware to "Nexenta Configurations."  I've ordered a few "Nexenta
    Configuration" type systems and they've all worked great with OmniOS.

    If you're having a problem finding somebody to help you, email me privately
    and I can connect with you with somebody over at Dell that is in the know.

    thanks!
