I also agree to stop the bashing, but in Matt's defense, He DOES have
real world experience. I've been trying to follow this thread, but
don't feel like getting involved into a pissing contest, but somehow
i'm just going to dive in here. Mike sounds like he doesn't know much
about running an enterprise and what it takes to spend to do so, so
I'm not sure why he tried to bash Matt in the first place. S***, I
wish we only spent 12k for 4TB. We use HDS Storage which is CRAZY
expensive! Spent over a mill on 20TB. You want to play with the big
boys, your going to need to spend some money....end of story!

Well when you graduate to the real world and get to use equipment made in the same year that you bought it you will see that $12K for 4TB in a self contained appliance is a deal. But I'm sure your busy working with some dual 500 MHZ dell box from 1998. NIC for 99 cents http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0149773 after rebate and a quick look on pricewatch show a bunch at 3 bucks. Not a consultant, I just work with large systems and have SLA of 99.999 uptime.
OK guys, we really don't need mud slinging here.
Some folks have -not- had the experience of working in an I.T. dept that has a budget of several million $. Please try and keep thing in perspective.
