Why is the cost of 3 x 1150D's over $108k ?
17k x 3 = 51k?
Check the specs on the cluster. That's for the biggest CPUs, biggest SSD/HD combo, biggest RAM option. It's a maxed out three node cluster, not an entry level three node cluster within the 1150D range. And with the 10GigE upgrade.
Just making sure I wasn't missing anything, lol.

From what I can tell, they are about double the cost of the base units, but it's a pretty massive upgrade across the board. The total 1.5TB of RAM, 60 Xeon cores and like 72GB or more of storage is pretty big

I could replace our entire VMware infrastructure with that here, lol... Maybe with two full boats.

It's a very rare SMB that doesn't fit into a bit less than that. That's a tonne of capacity. And that's like nearly 6TB of SSD tiering so the performance is pretty crazy on the disk side as well.

Yeah. My current infrastructure isn't exactly SMB. We have ~30 VMware servers and a butt load of Nimble storage SANs, lol.

Ah, well yeah, then time to replace that all with a single Scale cluster. The capacity listed there is just for a tiny three node cluster. You can get a lot bigger. If you needed 3TB of RAM, for example, that's easy to get to.

I'm still pushing to get a demo system here on campus. Keeps falling on deaf ears though.

Probably some people have careers depending on specific complex technologies that would be eliminated with a simpler system.

double the cost of the base units? So we're going from $25K entry to $50K entry.. well I'm guessing fewer people will be buying now.

If you have a single, giant document storage need I really like Exablox for offloading that. Triple mirroring and change block tracking with immutable history so ransomware can't touch your files.

It's documents that are part of an old EHR system - something we have to keep around for a minimum of 7 years after it's last use, which was over 2 years ago.. 5 years and counting.
I could probably move the actual storage to a NAS and map it into the IIS session... this is where tiered storage would be awesome, alas I don't have it right now.

What is holding it now that is not a NAS?
