i think for most companies the issues are (a) lack of people with
skills to build and maintain plan9 systems and (b) most IT departments
are used to -- and seek -- point solutions that solve specific
problems and have easy management interfaces.

in my opinion the easiest way to sell an enterprise solution is to
sell it as a hardware component; it's doubly true of systems that take
advantage of good technologies that IT has not heard of (yet).
