NETAPP vs EQUALLOGIC
Hi Experts,
what do you prefer for a storage for VM´s and Data ?
I have several quotes from DELL and HP and NETAPP.
What is your recommendation and why ?
NETAAPP FAS2240-2 HA with 48TB DualController 10Gb/S
or
EQUALLOGIC PS6510E with 48TB DualController 10Gb/S

Depends on what need you are trying to cover. Add 5 years of electricity consumption to price to know what it costs.

Thanks a lot for all your opinions.
In the past I worked with EQL PS4100E but not with so much snapshots.
Now I have some quotes for EQL PS6510E and for NETAPP FAS2240-2.
The NETAPP quote is cheaper than the EQL, so I will go for this one.

The reseller told me with NETAPP you can have a filer out of the box, right ?
If you do not have any experience of using a NetApp filer, I would recommend, you ask for Professional Sercices, to install it for you.
They are many configurations options, depending upon your usage.

of course I do.
I have heard some features have different names.
But in general I can say a NETAPP has more features and benefits ,right ?
What about the stability, works well or there are some issues with NETAPP ?

What options did you purchase? If you don't have the full bundle make sure that you ask for at least the protection pack and flex clone as they will make your life much easier. NFS will make VMware install easier as well and you do get at least one protocol for free
