My CEO came up to me lately and asked me to give me a range of possiblities of Storage devices to use with VMware. Immediately I came up with Netapp, Dell EqualLogic en Lefthand(HP) storage vendors. But if you take a look at MKB(middle and small business term used in the Netherlands) these can still be very expensive.

Now Lefthand is the one I know that has VSA, Virtual Storage Appliance to use within VMware. You can use the host-attached storage of your hosts as an ISCSI SAN... that's cool.

Is anyone out there familiar with other, 'cheaper' storage systems that can be used for small business?
