Max capacity (free version) is 18TB

In a production setup, If I had that much capacity (whether it's Starwind/Nexenta etc) I would not use anyone's free version.

I would buy the "real" product & PAY for support!

That link is for the FREE community edition.

This edition is supported via the forums only.

You can not purchase any of the available plug-ins http://nexenta.com/corp/products/what-i ... s-plug-ins

OK, thx.

I'll look forward to your update

Any type of performance related tests!

Thx for the update.

Do you have any other test comparisons without using dedup?

In a recent thread, user lohelle, suggested to Anton "Now we just need ZFS for Windows" http://www.starwindsoftware.com/forums/announces/why-did-you-buy-starwind-and-not-its-competitor-t2704.html I read Anton's response & PM'ed him with more questions: Me: Anton, Does that mean that St...

-SFP+ $8500+
-Copper $15000+

The SMicro expanders are LSI compatible The main drawbacks - well, LSI aren't yet compatible with an HP SAS expander which is very popular as it provides loads of SAS ports for a low price. Areca is compatible. Also, Are...

Is this a new rule? or is this related to OpenFiler + ESX only?

Option #3 is what I'm looking for.
How many months is a couple, 2 months, maybe 6?

I forgot to mention in my orig post the DR was over WAN

Anton, I agree, NIC's are not the place to "cut corners". You will certainly get what you pay for. Options are limited; Gigabit or 10 gig, Intel or Broadcom btw, I have zero experience with 10 gig NICs What do you consider to be minimum requirements: CPU: 1 or 2 procs? what speed? Memory: ...
