      I'm spitting my coffee out through my nose as I quote the smallest possible vSAN system from VmWare running ESXi.

      https://vsantco.vmware.com/vsan/SI/SIEV

      2 VMs with 2 Nodes, over $3 Million dollars for hardware alone.

      Who is drinking the Kool-aid?

        My boss is always saying that he wants 1 throat to choke. I guess they want to choke VMware's if something goes wrong.

          Choking on something maybe. . . he certainly won't be choking VMWare's throat. . . but he might be choking on VMware. . .

            Huh?

            The absolute smallest at MSRP in only ~$70,000 total. I believe that includes licensing as well. How did you set yours up? Actually if you drop to a hyperconverged setup it looks like only ~$45,000 total.

              With the smallest numbers I could put in, 2 vm, 2 node to meet our current storage requirements.

              Nothing fancy, literally as small as possible.

                It just sounds like some unethical sales person got a hold of a guillable and unsuspecting IT buyer and just reamed them of what they were wanting.

                              Only a +1 helmet will do. Non-magic will just be destroyed by the wall.

                                      Why is someone who writes emails like this allowed to buy a computer, or log into one for that matter.
