From their web site, they sound like they'll be as challenging to get
straight answers from as any of the other disk array vendors :-(.
And there's nothing about what I see there that seems to address
anything at all about the "instability hiding in there somewhere"
problem. I see no reason at all for a Xyratex FC array to be the
slightest bit more stable than any other vendor's product.
The only reason I'd be interested is if I knew that their products
were priced at some fraction substantially lower than 1/1 of the
competing products from EMC, IBM, and such. And it seems pretty clear
that that would involve the usual irritating sets of vendor visits and
negotiations, which amount to, "No, it's not gonna be cheap."
