Re: Anyone installed or migrated to Lion-based Xsan?

the only thing "free" is the user license. You still need the fibre array, the QLogic switch, the fibre cards, a metadata server (2), two networks and the fibre network, and of course - the knowlege to do all of this. So how much cheaper is it to build an XSAN system today - for a 6 seat system, you save $6000. Otherwise, the price is the same as before.
