Thoughts on upgrading?

[gsaiidi]

Here in our lab environment, we have a CX3-10 SAN and we've got 3 DAEs already attached and I believe we have the capabilities to attach one more. We're running out of space and I was just wondering if anyone had some input on whether to get another DAE or move in a different direction like an Equallogic PS6000 series?

Thanks

Get another DAE. The CX3 line is a much more powerful solution than the EqualLogic units (granted the CX3 is more expensive, but you are getting what you pay for).
