I havent seen the Compaq san yet but I read that they have sold more
systems than any other vendor, so I want to see why so many companies
bought them.

I just got back from a meeting with the XIOtech people in Richmond. It's
pretty impressive. XIOtech said with their raid-5 setup, you can lose more
than one drive at a time without a problem! I find this hard to believe,
but
it sounds pretty cool. I also like the way you can move drives around, and
absorb a new drive into a raid setup with even a reboot.
I guess it all comes down to the software that manages the san though.
Other
than that, its just hard drives and controller cards. I've yet to see
compaq
and dells interfaces, but I heard they're not that great.

We dont have their equipment yet but I did go to a 4 hours live hardware
training session and got hands on to create logical drives, extend drives
etc and I found it very impressive. We just had the EMC guys here today
and they are going to take us to some site where we can do the same stuff
on EMC san. XIOtech said their entry level system with about 50% drive
population was about $125K, but you could lease it also which might be
cheaper in the long run. We are trying to get managment to go with a
san and blade servers instead of the 7u/9u monsters we have now. After
they eat the initial san cost, expansion will be way cheaper.

Has anyone has any experience with XIOtech?
We're thinking about their Magnitude SAN solution, but I've never heard of
them before.
Thanks,
