Hey Patrick,
Dont know if youd have the time but Ive been wondering about the performance and functionality of the various free or "sort of" free storage solutions/VSA's. Ive been considering:
HP's Lefthand VSA on HyperV or VMware - iSCSI only, with a 60 day licence that doesnt expire as long as you dont access advanced features.
Microsofts Storage Server R2 - Just an install of the target on top of 2k8R2. Free to all technet subscribers.
OpenFiler
EMC Celerra VSA
Would be great to have a back to back comparision, particularly on the performance side. Hopefully others would be interested as well.
Cheers
