Good to know it's not some "prosumer" piece of junk. ;-) Thanks, Andrew!

Good price, decent feature set, and reliable. Great for small business or people getting their feet wet with SANs. ASB (My XeeSM Profile) Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...

We didn't get into that level of testing during our proof of concept, but the consultant assisting with us with our VMWare POC had nothing but great things to say about the capability. I think the recent addition to that feature was support for SSDs. Here's a decent write up: http://review.techworld.com/san/3244996/dell-equallogic-ps6010xvs-review/?ge tDynamicPage&print - Sean On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 9:19 AM, Ben Scott <[email protected]> wrote: On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 11:53 AM, Sean Martin <[email protected]> wrote: > EQL on the other hand inclues a lot of built-in functionality like > snapshots, array-to-array replications, etc. without charging more.

Sat through an EQL sales pitch earlier this week (they paid for lunch in return, which is why I went). One thing he said was they have or will soon have hierarchical storage, so the busiest blocks get stored on SSDs, the next busiest on SAS, and the least used on SATA, and automagically migrate blocks as demand changes. Standard sales guy disclaimer applies, i.e., his lips were moving, so he was probabbly lying. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
