Never heard of Exablox. Learned something. I've never had anything even remotely that large either though.
Exablox looks pretty cool. I would like to play with one, don't have a large enough environment to justify it.
We have been told that we are going to get one for the lab. Need to see what the status is.

I like where Exablox is going. I got a couple of their units to demo early on, before they went public. They actually worked well for what they did at the time (we just used them as backup targets).
They do some nice stuff. I got to use one maybe three years ago. Maybe four, even. But probably three. Very nice stuff. It's basically Gluster (but not Gluster) with a really simple interface that does everything for you.

You can get them relatively small. Not SMALL, but not huge. Like 36TB is where you could start with one.

Our file server is 488 GB currently
Any idea of the cost for the most basic of models? Even a round-about? -

@SeanExablox could tell you some starter prices.

@dafyre You should check us out now!

@SeanExablox What is a good starting TB size for looking at an Exablox solution?

@wirestyle22 said in How Do You Teach Everything in IT?: Too expensive for 488GB I'm afraid :) @SeanExablox could tell you some starter prices.@wirestyle22 it depends on how important the 488GB is to your organization. Lake Chelan Community Hospital has 1TB of medical records they need to protect from ransomware. They purchased OneBlox and with our immutable CDP they can recover from any ransomware infection.
OneBlox is $11,995 and you purchase drives at retail pricing (up to 8TB drives). We're running a promotion this month where we're giving away 72TB of storage when you purchase OneBlox...

For those less familiar with Exablox, I just gave an Overview and demo that was recorded.

ok on forked thread.One comment on this thread before moving. It really depends on the value of the information to the company. I mentioned the ransomware sizing of 1TB, but this is the exception. We have many customers with less than 10TB backup and shared file serving problems that they start with a single OneBlox and don't fully populate. Our s/w features and scale-out mean they spend very little time managing storage, but have enterprise class features.
