I am trying to see what options are out there to have near enterprise class storage at a fraction of the cost. From my experience it seems that Tier 1 and Tier 2 storage seems to range from $2,000 to $5,000 per TB and other much more expensive solutions. So I was looking for something closer to $500 per TB. This would need to include software and hardware. It doesn't have to be exactly 100 TB or $500 per TB, but something close and the software should be feature rich possibly like SANsymphony.
I don't want any single points of failure, so it would most likely need to be a cluster of nodes like VSAN that can tolerate multiple node failures. Primary use would most likely be VMware. I was thinking of a multi-tiered hybrid solution with SATA and SSDs with 10 Gb SFP+ ports.
Do you think it is possible or would it be more like $1,000 per TB?
