    That sucks, what are you going to use to move all the data to while you delete it and reinstall to update for 3.0 code? 2.4 > 3.0 requires a full reinstall of the system. Going forward they are telling us its non disruptive though. Yes its pure flash, they use hitachi 800gb sas ssds. I...

    Newest storage array... EMC XtremIO. This is the first array in cincinnati. It consistent of 2x 20TB bricks. We've not really done any IOP saturation but based on some vmotion and msc other task it easily produces 500,000 io.

    The $/Iop those units give you is terrible. Your into that what half a mill? Those 200gb drives are nearly $3500/ea from emc if not more.

    Depends what your doing, if you have a lot of sequential IO the 10G will help, if you do a lot of iops multiple 1g ports with multipath will be just fine. If you need quotes on nimble stuff pm me, I can help you get a good deal!

    Way less, blades are extremely power efficient, I wish we would have moved to it sooner. I'd say nearly 50% less power used on our blade systems than rack mount servers. 10G Ethernet with FCOE. No LACP is for the birds. We do a lot of active active software defined networking and vmware...

    The blades are dedicated servers for customers. I work with a hosting provider. Back of them: They are kinda hard to cable, the power cables are generally to long and because they are 12 gauge cabling we don't have to many options. Each PSU in the blade center is 2700 watts.

    Don't buy new cisco gear, let someone else take the hit. You can pick up 48p 3750/3560g for $1400 and have absolutely no limitations. The dell switches are manufactured by SMC and have terrible feature sets.. kinda like buying a hub when a switch is just slightly more.. sure both do the same...

    You beat me there! We have a compellent system coming in later this year with over 200 disk.. pretty excited to get some new storage in. The way EMC handles iscsi is a little different than what I'm use to... still warming up to the design.

    You do want to separate your recursive/authoritative servers. It is possible for the recursion to feedback a bad entry from another server, you don't want it answering if it don't know.
