oh yes.. years of experience. my old company bought the biggest one they had. U3120 IIRC. It was great that it wasn't a per user cost.. but the yearly maint fee for hardware and software support was alot of money.
Once you get it loaded with years of emails.. it can be VERY slow for users.. like 5-10 minutes for a single search. it could be that way with all archive appliances though with millions of emails to search through. it's tough to say one way or another. i guess you get what you pay for. oh yeah the biggest problem is backup. be sure you have a ton of TBs to back it up. We were having issues with backup early on.. and then the 3ware raid controller corrupted our data... we lost data. :( We basically had to redo an import back from exchange to start over. I think they took steps though to make sure this didn't happen. it was a problem with 3ware and not their software. I don't think you'll be able to beat the price.. be sure you like that web interface :) Sorry to be so brief and all over the place. Let me know if you have any more questions. We bought it in 2008, and they still have it. But i think my old boss is ready to dump it because its so slow and backup is such a burden.
