Just as an FYI, I would recommend that whatever you decide on, you
develop a "show me" attitude and test it at your location using your
job mix BEFORE you spend a dime on it. They you can decide how much
time and money it will take to make it work.
We have tried many solutions that have not worked. Some of it, AFTER
we spent good money and time on it.
Filesystems are getting better, but they are still (all of them) quite
temperamental and may not necessarily work will with your applications.
At my old site, we brought in any vendor willing to let us test their
stuff.
We got burned on another solution earlier in the contract. It passed
acceptance, but it still didn't work. I have become much more diligent
at "breaking" filesystems. It has help understand what filesystems can
and cannot do.
