NTG Partners with AetherStore!
-
Cost? Is it out of beta yet?
-
$7/machine/month and yes it is out of beta.
-
I should mention there are price breaks for purchasing large amounts and paying for a full year up front etc.
-
Do they offer free "home lab" licencing?
-
There is no difference in price no matter how you want to use it.
-
Wow! That's a far cry better pricing than what they were talking about originally!
-
They seem to offer Free NFR copies...

The problem with doing that is many SMBs would try to get away with using the free version in production.
-
@Jason Limit the number of nodes or the amount of storage you can use.
-
I believe (am verifying now) only Partners are getting NFR licenses (again I could be wrong).
-
I was one of the early adopters for Aetherstore . It is an excellent product for what it can do, and they are continuously improving it. I look forward to great things from them!

That doesn't really lock out SMBs.
-
The official word from above: The only people getting "free" licenses are people that were part of the alpha stage or were an early adopter.
-
@Minion-Queen As a partner we also get a few free licenses that we can use with potential clients for trials and demos.
-
Huh.. i was an alpha user, but got swamped and stopped participating..

It's never been a NAS in any way. It has always been a DAS and still is.

A software DAS just because you can only access the storage form the machine running the controller. But the storage itself is software NAS (though not accessible to anything but the controller.

yeah, that's how I was more or less viewing it in my head.
The controller can of course share that storage out, and then it becomes a NAS.

No, it's block storage. Nothing NAS-like in the system. It's SAN under the hood with DAS exposure on top. No file protocols in use.
