I had DataCore SANsymphony at my old place in a low volume non-mission-critical environment and it worked fine.
Is anyone here running their production mission-critical workloads on the hundreds of TB scale on DataCore SANsymphony or Atlantis USX?
The rational mind suggests that SDS is the way to go. Let the software virtualize storage and say adios to the likes of EMC/HP/Hitachi. Just put everything behind white-box SATA, SAS, Flash and be done with it.
The cost savings on hardware and especially hardware support (I am looking at you EMC!) look too good to be true.
The rational mind also looks at the technology features and understands that SDS does indeed lower downtime and provide an unprecedented level of resiliency at a much lower price point than a VMAX or Isilon.
The irrational mind says; sure, go SDS and while you are at it dust off your resume because you'll need it the first time something goes wrong.
