Oh, 250 was for the box, no disks. 75% discount. :)
Keep it old-school!
Vsan btw is vmwares attempt to actually achieve _horizontal_ scalability.
I just don’t trust vmware with anything except for that bytecode vm. It used to rock, but time went ahead, and even as they IPO’d I thought they would end up dead in the water eventually.
I had just been introduced to the wonderful zones in Solaris and it just made hypervisor vm’s seem silly.
If your horizon extends to what vendors are prepared to sell you, take that 50 discount and run with it!
One final thought: is that disk not ”internal” to the array? This is what makes blockstorage notoriously difficult to scale horizontally.
You’ll need very clever software!

And here we are with cgroups and friends...
Have a look at ceph if you’re interested: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/architecture/
Anyway, I’m out.
