-
I have some plans for all the ML people..... and Scale so we will see what we can do for everyone.

Looks like NTG will be working with them a lot and we are also going to be reselling as well. We are also getting stuff for the lab. @scottalanmiller , @art_of_shred and @Mike-Ralston are really excited about that.
I like their ideas and the hardware looks nice, but I just do not see it ever in the SMB space. SME or maybe the largest side of SMB, but certianly not in most places where I am working.
Shops that I feel can make good use of Scale's stuff generally have an IT staff of their own (for better or worse) and I do not get in those.

Their target is actually in the SMB space... For what you get with Scale, you could spend $100k easy on SAN, and 3 or 4 Servers...
The company that I worked with that went to Scale actually saved about 30k over replacing 3 VMware servers, and adding in Flash cache to improve performance withour SAN, and to grow our VMware infrastructure from 3 nodes to 4. Compared to our (entry level?) HP / Left Hand SAN, the Scale cluster is blistering fast.
Plus if you get 3 servers, and decide you need more computing power, just add another node -- and you get extra storage too... If you really only need storage, they make nodes for just that.
I tend to get relatively excited when talking about them, lol. We had such a good experience with them and all.

I know it is their target market, but I just do not see it being useful at any of my existing clients.

I have never had a bad interaction with them either.

Just got back from the walk to the store. OMG it is hot. And a strawberry Fanta just blew up on me.

What makes you say that? (Just curious)

This is good to know. 8-) -

I've never had the strawberry. But the orange is delicious.

Strawberry is way better.

This is good to know. 8-)The cost of the devices versus the cost of internal storage. It simply makes no sense for any of the clients I currently have that have servers on site.

This it the song that never ends! Yes, it goes on and on my friends! Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because...
