Agreed. We have LH still in production, came up from the 160’s (supermicro), 
2060’s (dell), and 4300’s (HP). LH was amazing with support, and an easy 
front-range trip to make to their support center / labs. HP support is terrible 
with LH products, and we are also no longer an LH customer.

A little off topic, but…I was a LeftHand SAN customer several years ago.  
Awesome mid-tier solution…bought by HP.  HP decided that their in-house 
technical support could do a better job off supporting the product than the 
folks who had all the knowledge.  We went for two years having to figure things 
out ourselves.  The LeftHand products are still in existence, but HP has now 
priced them in the stratosphere.

I no longer am a LeftHand/HP customer…

We'll see how it works out. We had a 3Com system once upon a time. Remember 
3Com?

HP doesn't have a good track record for "integrating well" with the products it 
acquires. I remember 3com well. We were all 3com. After a few years of the 
HP/3com mess, we're Brocade now. And last year, stopped buying Aruba in favor 
of Ruckus. :)
