There's a lot of bad marketing out there for sure--Coraid doesn't have a lock
on that by any means. There's nothing technically wrong with Equallogic units;
we have one of those too.
My advice is: Try each out for yourselves. We did exactly that. What
eventually sold me on Coraid is that they "Just Work" and I could get perhaps
10 of those for the price of a single competitor's unit. Plus they are easy to
stack for growth and reliability.
I'd be happy to share our experiences further (off list) to anyone interested.
Really though, I don't understand why AoE isn't more popular. The main
drawbacks I can tell is that it isn't a standard and has somewhat limited
driver support. But AoE works perfectly well with Linux and Xen, which are
mainly what we use today.
