We have a 10 year old Hitachi RAID box which Hitachi tells us is going out
of support. Only two applications are left of the old z9 machine but they
are critical. Latest estimate from programmers is that they will migrate
off in 12 to 18 months.
So, based on you folks experience, is it reasonable to pay extra for an
extended contract and keep the old box? I know there are other options,
but this appears to be the lowest cost, and easiest. The question is about
how older RAID boxes hold up in general.
