Well, jms222 - what it does is this - it provides storage, virtualization, replication/dr without needing the admin to be a VCP, a CCNE, or a SNIA certified Storage engineer. It does it without licensing of any kind and is easy enough that a 4 year old can run it. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgBQZ-TVvs0

Go hyperconverged. Or cloud. Or whatever. You won't save on hardware

Re: He is right ...

Not quite - most HCI vendors offer storage only nodes, compute nodes, and a mix of the two allowing you to scale cpu & ram and storage independently based on specific need at the time. The notion that you cant is a FUD point from 2012 and has long since been addressed by both Scale Computing and Nutanix.

You forgot to include Scale's HC3 in your calculations. Our average SMB to Midmarket customer saves ~40% vs the legacy servers+switches+SAN+hypervisor they moved away from when they implemented their HC3 cluster.

Funny thing - several SMB focused vendors seem to be struggling, but we here at Scale (focused heavily on SMB) are growing like mad. On prem for SMB isn't dead, just the old way of too much complexity is.
