$25,000 for the MDC, plus $45,000 to replace our 80TB of storage since only
their RAIDs are qualified... I'd have more luck getting a Quantum M330 for
$60,000 approved since I could still use our Promise RAIDs (and that
likelihood is about 0%) - and Quantum is a known entity here, Active is not.
The Mac mini is definitely the cheapest solution and because they are cheap,
the lack of redundancy is mitigated by having 2 or more servers... (I could
get 20 for the price of the Active or Quantum solution!) I just hate that
our 4 year old servers are already obsolete with no upgrade path, since most
Enterprise customers are - I assume - on a 5 year or more replacement cycle
for Server class hardware.
