RE: Power HA

We made a similar comparison a few years back, I think I would have preferred PowerHA. Even for us using the same (non-IBM) storage, the price difference was un-defendable due to PowerHA would have required us to put SVC's in front of the storage.... The price of 3 SVC's added up pretty quickly.

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.
