Hi,

Forgive my ignorance but I'm new to VMWare/storage. My project needs shared storage for a VMWare cluster. Our DC manager has sworn off vSAN. What would you recommend for:
  • Just storage for 10-20 VMs with snapshots
  • Not performance critical
  • O(50TB) capacity?
  • 16GFC
  • Long-term reliability/low support costs (10-year project, prefer not to renew)
  • ~$50K budget
I'm finding the marketing obfuscation/pricing obscuration frustrating. Thanks!

How about a Netapp A250?
Am quite happy with the previous A200 and A220s myself. And with the upcoming OS Release ONTAP 9.9 the GUI should be full function once more. Will be using 9.7Px until then :)
