Thanks Andrew – it’s nice to get a rough price without speaking to anyone in sales.

I look forward to the other parts of the article.

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

XV model disks are 15K SAS. From a price perspective the figure quoted seems to match the 450GB disk size, but only 8 disks and a single controller which you can no longer purchase. A fair proportion of this price included the 3 year – 4 hour support mentioned Simon mentions.

So in general if you are looking at a fully populated 16 disk model and dual controllers you need to be looking at £20K – £25K depending on what level of support you require.

Sure Simon can also help out here with his thoughts.

Interesting write-up for somebody dipping their toe into SANs – look forward to part 2.

What size SAS disks do you get for your £15.5k spend?
