Are there any snacks and T-Shirts? Having said that, I have nothing against Hitachi, Dell, HP or NetApp. As a consultant for a backup vendor, I encountered all of them. While I was a DBA, I was annoying the heck of storage sales people by requesting demos using the local application mix and asking questions about IOPS. My guess is that the original poster will have to do the same. Whatever he decides, Commvault can back it up and can integrate with the storage snapshots.

We've looked at the ZFS which seems really nice, a little more expensive than we though but great for Oracle database.  Now my system admins are looking at Pure Storage as a possibility as well. From what I read it seems like a all flash system and apparently hardware freshes are built into the support contract.  Let me know if you have any onions.

Pure is very fast and very reliable. Administration interface is fairly intuitive and it supports everything that other storage support.
