I am very excited to learn more about this product! Whether they admit it or not, this puts them even further in direct competition with Applogic. I don't have much experience with Applogic itself, but I have heard a bunch of people complain about performance issues on their distributed storage platform. I wonder if OnApp will be able to overcome this.
Also, I really wonder if this product will be able to perform as a replacement for a high-end SAN, or if it will be the "budget" version of setting up an OnApp cloud with poor IO and performance. Too bad they wont have any caching system from the start. I also wish they were a little more public with their planned pricing structure! It's hard to decide whether or not to evaluate their system if you don't even know what the pricing looks like or if it'd make any sense for your organization.

OnApp is just a software, the software is just as good as it's foundation, and the same goes to cPanel or Plesk.
Many larger hosting companies are using OnApp too and so far haven't been bothered by others who run poor service.
End of the day, we are automating a lot of your manual work, you focus on what you should do, infrastructure stability and awesome support.

Nobody else finds highly ironic what is the source of this "holy grail" in network storage?

We are actually looking forward to testing the OnApp vSAN product at some point. It will be interesting to see how it performs compared to our SAN setup.

actually, there is a much cheaper dual 10GbE low-profile PCIe 8-lane adapter available from supermicro: AOC-STG-i2 (Intel 82598EB; 2x CX4 connector):

superbiiz sells it for $436:

A good alternative to 10GE is Infiniband. We use 40Gbps (QDR) Infiniband gear for our private Xen cloud, and it came out around the same price as 10GE would have been. Surplus 20Gbps (DDR) Infiniband gear is even cheaper. An 8-port 40Gbps Infiniband switch runs about $220/port.
What I'd really like to see is a cheap SAN solution that uses SAS HBAs connected to a SAS switch. An SFF-8088 cable with a 6Gbps HBA can handle 24Gbps (4 channels in wide mode), and a 16-port SAS switch only costs $2000 ($125/port). The SCST project has some beta-quality SAS target mode drivers that someone could invest in polishing.Scott Burns, President

The HP P4000/Lefthand solution allows you to do this. For every pair of SAN modules, you get 10 free VSA licenses to run on commodity hardware. We use this setup currently, and saves us a heap by not having to buy another SAN from HP for our backups!
The OnApp solution definitely looks interesting, especially considering the ability to use completely commodity hardware!

Ditlev,
How much bandwidth is needed between hypervisors? How much does the interconnection of the devices affect performance?
What kind of performance degradation do we see during a 'rebuild' or if a hypervisor drops off?
How hard is it to reinsert a dead hypervisor into the storage pool?
When you need to scale? How intensive is the operation? Does it complete a full rebuild?Steven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com

HP once had a "bullet proof san" they made a video of them putting a bullet through it and it kept running

I can't imagine this being amazing at anything less than 10G speeds on the storage backend. You have to take into account the network traffic generated by redundancy/duplication/failover on top of normal I/O..

Probably because it's unfamiliar. Even as a simple alternative to 10GE, using IPoIB is still pretty fast. Using RDMA capabilities, like SRP for storage, or SDP for high performance sockets, is even faster.
Infiniband is continuing to move ahead. We use 40Gbps gear (32Gbps usable with 8/10 encoding), but now they have 56Gbps (~54.5Gbps with 64/66 encoding) cards and switches on the market.Scott Burns, President

These virtual SAN vendors are poping up all over the place. Have a look at Datacore, Starwind, Falconstor, HP VSA. The list goes on...
