      Their target is actually in the SMB space... For what you get with Scale, you could spend $100k easy on SAN, and 3 or 4 Servers...

      The company that I worked with that went to Scale actually saved about 30k over replacing 3 VMware servers, and adding in Flash cache to improve performance withour SAN, and to grow our VMware infrastructure from 3 nodes to 4. Compared to our (entry level?) HP / Left Hand SAN, the Scale cluster is blistering fast.

      Plus if you get 3 servers, and decide you need more computing power, just add another node -- and you get extra storage too... If you really only need storage, they make nodes for just that.

      I tend to get relatively excited when talking about them, lol. We had such a good experience with them and all.

        I know it is their target market, but I just do not see it being useful at any of my existing clients.

        I have never had a bad interaction with them either.

          Just got back from the walk to the store. OMG it is hot. And a strawberry Fanta just blew up on me.

            What makes you say that? (Just curious)

            This is good to know. 8-)

              I've never had the strawberry. But the orange is delicious.

                  The cost of the devices versus the cost of internal storage. It simply makes no sense for any of the clients I currently have that have servers on site.

                                          It is starting to get very dark here. I think we are going to see some rain as well. Although I am only a few hours from you.
