I ran OpenFiler in production for 8 months due to some budgetary constraints
and some general operational deficiencies leftover from my predecessor. I was
generally
Some variables to consider:
Size of the environment
Applications to be housed in shared storage
Utilization of applications above.
That being said, I'm very happy on my EqualLogic PS5000. It might even have
a bit more power than we need, but at the time we bought ours some of the
other solutions
Not a direct answer, but another shared storage option you could consider
for that setup is an MD3XXX.

Seems lots of folks who have existing FC environments might be tempted to
continue down that path, but if you don’t, and you’re looking at a primarily VM
environment, ISCSI would probably fit

be the same as your source for EQL.

iSCSI will work just fine for hosting a VM environment, as well as some other
workloads.
If you already have a FC infrastructure, then that's not a bad reason to go
there, but iSCSI is very mature and stable and good performance if you don't
On Hyper-v vs. ESX/ESXi my take has always been that vsphere is more mature,
and if your hardware is on the HCL you just drop in the ISO and away you go.
With Windows you might get lucky out the box or you might be having to
download Broadcom NIC drivers (and teaming software) or Intel NIC

I don't have any experience with FC, but I do love my LeftHand units -

Never had an ounce of trouble with them - a RAM stick went

I suspect Oliver's decision may be made when he sees how much even a pretty
