 EMC CX4 VS Netapp 3140 VS Lefthand SAN/iQ
EMC CX4, Lefthand SAN/iQ, Netapp 3140, SAN, VMware ESX 3.5, VMware ESX 3.5 Implementation
I would like to know what SAN is best to implement ESX 3.5. In regards to features, management, and useable space. If anyone here went through the process of implementing any of these products why did you choose the one you have. If you're using 2 of the 3 or maybe all, why do you like one over the other, thanks.

No benefit in the EMC on LHN – just a bunch of spinning disks. The NetApp deduplication saves masses of spec in a VM environment. They have a at least 50% less space than other vendors guarantee with VM deployments.
