Re: Let me guess...

Kind of related here but my first all flash 3PAR system the installer wanted to install it in the middle of what was left of the rack for expansion purposes. I have been a 3PAR customer for a long time and knew what I wanted, I needed/wanted it right where I told him to put it. He racked it wrong and I had him unrack it it and fix it. He said that was a bad idea for upgrades I told him with the size of SSDs and the number of available slots in the system it is extremely unlikely we will ever add another shelf to that array for it's lifetime(almost 2 and a half years in and the system is 30% full today, it started at 16% populated, maybe it gets to 50% in the next 18 months).
