Preliminary figures on moving from Mimix to Power HA is ~$790k vs less
than a 10th of that to go to QuickEDD. Granted, we're planning on
replacing all of our SSD drives anyway due to the maintenance costs so
that drops the PowerHA solution down closer to ~$500k. But that's still a
pretty intolerable swallow.

A bulk of the cost is the SAN. The rest is training, installation, etc.

I just do not see PowerHA happening.

Our current switches work. We do them quarterly. We do backups on our
backup machine. The only real complaint we have is that Mimix lags so
darn far behind in supporting new features of the OS.
