      @scottalanmiller just a question (sw not hw) why veeam rather than say.. altaro. Just curious!

      There is no backup software on this device. It is a storage target. One assumes that @scottalanmiller will be using some base OS that lets you setup basically any type of connectivity.

      Ok! Got it wrong! Thanks for clarifying

      @dafyre Amazon Cloud Drive won't blink at 10TB. They say that they expect people to upload their video collections in HD. But it's for personal use only.

      Depends. I've never seen an enterprise shop with enterprise system admins that were not more expensive than the storage guys. Close, but systems is the top payer. I've known many $200K and higher systems people. No storage people at $200K. But lots over $150K.

      Cost more but can do more. I'm not saying what my pay is, but my bonus is more than my whole salary at my previous employer.

      Yup, system admins generally can do "nearly anything." Whereas storage admins generally can do only one thing. And if you change storage products you generally have to replace your storage team too.

      what a mess...

      Windows desktops are loaded with software that you are only limited as to how you can use it by EULA as well.

      @DustinB3403 said in SAM-SD Hardware Server Vendors:

      @scottalanmiller is there a ballpark entry price for SAM-SD hardware? Are you approving all of all the systems designed? Or did you simply license the term (like Trump) licenses his name?

      Prices will be available soon. It's full support, real support unlike SMB devices. So not super cheap 🙂

      Let's talk about the actual storage you choose for these machines.

      Can be a lot of things: local drives, OEM drives, non-OEM drives, FusionIO cards, Winchester drives, SSD, hybrid arrays, DAS attached chassis... because it is an approach and not a product it is very flexible.
