RE: [Xen-users] iscsi/nfs/aoe SAN storage for Xen

[Nathan Eisenberg <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those are the most monstrously inflated marketing numbers I've seen since a 
VMWare rep took me out to lunch with an Equilogic rep and tried to convince me 
their products would save me more money on HVAC and power than I was even 
spending!

iSCSI costs $400 per switch port but AOE costs $15?
iSCSI costs up to $5000 per TB while AOE costs up to $500?

Coraid appliances (www.coraid.com) are fast, reliable and inexpensive.  I 
recognize you may not be looking to purchase at this time, but keep in mind 
these models start under $2k.

If you just want to try AoE to get a feel for the protocol and driver, try 
vblade:
