Talk:NexentaStor

Lead problem
The following sentence from the lead does not make sense. What should it be?


 * ... has been optimized for use virtualized server environments NAS and iSCSI and Fibre Channel applications built around the ZFS file system.

It is better at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexenta_OS#NexentaStor, but it still does not make sense:


 * ... is optimized for use in virtualized server environments including NAS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel applications,
