That sort of talk made me suspicious that he was blowing smoke, but it seems like a good product, nonetheless, and if it comes in cheaper than the "big boys" I may go with that, especially since ASB recommends 'em.

Have you looked into Dell/EMCs CX4-120? Its the entry level CX unit that provides both fiber channel and iscsi connectivity via "UltraFlex I/O Modules". It supports 4GB/s and 8GB/s Fiber Channel and 1 GB/s and 10GB/s iSCSI. -Sean On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 7:39 AM, John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: Ok, I just got off the phone with a StoneFly sales engineer.He had some interesting things to say about EMC/Dell/Equallogic/NetApp and LSI.
