HCI vs SAN Planning a hardware overhaul for a SMB. Current: (2) Hosts, (1) SAN (2) FC Switches, (1) Core, (2) Edge A few options and wanted to get another set of eyes or opinion on: 1. Buy new + add additonal core switch. 2. Buy new\* + add additonal core switch \*With **controller only** SAN upgrade. 3. Go HCI route (2) Hosts + Witness eliminating SAN and FC. The current infrastructure is 6-7 years old and approaching EOSL. The problem is buying new, or doing controller only, the EOSL is in less than 4 years. Hardly seems like a good investment for buying new, but controller only comes with risks for the older drives. I have recently looked into HCI, since there are only 10 VMs, and 4TB of used shared storage. with plans to continue migrating workloads to cloud where it makes sense. HCI could help give me more longevity before EOSL, yet in my preliminary search it looks like Simplivity and Vxrail are both being phased out (Simplivity is also still on G11).…
