Pricing model is insane - Dester Wallaboo

Have you ever priced SAN solutions? Apple's is by FAR the cheapest and most feature-rich solution in the entire marketplace. You won't get into a competitors solution with the same feature set for under $35,000.

Pricing model is insane - lunddal

The last sentence in the very first paragraph: Order Xsan today for $999 per node. Perhaps you should have talked to someone who actually knows what a SAN is.

No, you are insane - Ilgaz

You actually sit here and speak about the price of a server filesystem.

Imagine you work in Pixar (I don'T think so!) and you got petabyte level, $100 MILLION project under your hand.

Or, you are IT decision maker for a company big as techtracker and all your "money" relies on database in that level.

How much you would pay?

Jesus, you people don't have anything better to do than commenting about the stuff you will never see in your life and marking admin posts "unhelpful"?

What do you expect to use this SAN for anyway? Editing? Render / asset distribution? No way you can do that with the HP solution and 14 workstations.

We built an XSAN with 2 switches, 4 XRAIDS, a lot of fibre and 7 licenses of XSAN. We now have 5 HD Edit stations (where before we had 2) capable of sharing - instantly- all assets, 15 TBs of RAID lvl5 storage, online backup capabilities which dramtically reduce our insurance costs, and a render farm that can feed itself from a raid rather than our workstations. It's a phenominal value - and here is the important thing - if you need it.
