      Sounds like they were victims of Shiny New Device syndrome.

        Likely victims of "I'll just let a salesman do my job and get paid to not know what I'm doing" syndrome.

          At my work right now... we just implemented a SAN device which supposed to store our Files servers.... Even if there are multiple drives, and Raid 10, there is only one SAN. I was aggressively oppose this idea, but it was approved by my manger anyhow. Can't wait for it to fail. * grab popcorn *

            The moral of this story is that listening to HPE consulting will totally bone your systems at maximum profit to HPE.

              Yup, it's like RAID 5 - people forget that it makes vendors money to recommend reckless systems. The risk goes to you, the profits go to them.

              It's far from specific to HPE, but HPE seems to have a track record of it recently.

                Maybe the "E" stands for "evil".

                  That's still Lenovo in my book, but HPE is working on it.

                      Listening to any vendor consulting will lead to a p*** poor system but for the vendors profit.

                        Yeah, they brought in the wrong people here. Fundamental business flaws. Listening to the sales people instead of hiring someone whose job it is to know what is needed.
