How's the Tegiles reliability? Someone told me they have reliability issues with NFS and that's why Tegile pushes FC. I really want VM specific analytics which means NFS.
The only problem I see with Tintri is the lack of expandability. You have to buy a whole new unit to expand. That would cost another $60K for a 13.5TB unit. They don't dedupe/compress on HDD.
I talked to Pure Storage but they want $160K for 11TB of consumer grade MLC.
I was offered a great price on a Compellant SC8000.
You are not paying for the physical hardware, you are paying for the goodness they layered on top of it! Forgot the type of MLC used, it is about the experience they deliver... the operational simplicity, the performance etc
