heck why not wiki or KB on Storage?
We have the forums or sans/ZFS but its hard to sort when looking for a few particular answers.
Ive only seen one really good thread on storage spaces.
For me personally (clients included) the networking and prices of a $AN is a major hurdle, the general favorite - ZFS requires big memory. None of these solutions really seem to be great fits for the SMB.
I keep thinking 2012R2 with replication could be a great answer...
i have a few deployments with 2012, but its not how I'd like. generally using a RAID card and replicating out to a backup box.
but I'm thinking:
$700 per host for 2012 std.
clustering with HA
storage pools (simple/mirror/parity/parity2/tiering/rebuild to freespace
replication + dedupe
better drivers then class 1 hypervisors
and for that same 700$ you get 2 VM's???
whats not to like?
