My impression is that SDC from a support perspective is stronger than most "enterprise" offerings.
Basically you get coverage for most things in a single pack, storage, network virtualization, SmartOS, hypervisor, management backplane with orchestration, Manta object store, etc.. If you take the total support costs for all the required systems which a typical VM stack has in combination with RHEL and all the involved vendors.. or even just the cost of a decent SAN, well that money figure is sky high. Can spend that money on better things...
