We're exploring an option to buy VMAX for small-midsize company for data need of around 50 TB ( FC - 30 TB , SATA - 20 TB ) with Timefinder/SRDF/SMC. Can you give me rough figure how much it will cost? Yes we're going to contact EMC to get quote. Before that we want to get a basic idea.
it depends on many criteria ( trade-in value of your current gear, what kind of discount your organization gets from EMC, how hungry your sales team is ..etc). Sorry but nobody on the public forum will tell you that information, work with your EMC team.
probably a single engine vmax will do for you. But i have never looked at this type of requirement earlier, also note sure if EMC would rather recommed a dual engine one considering your TF & SRDF requirement. It would be good to know what you go with finally.. even if not EMC one finally, you can PM me
