This is exactly why I went with Pogo Linux instead of Dell or a variety of other vendors when my employer was looking at storage appliances. Total transparency on pricing and hardware right on their website, and no persistent calls from d-bag sales guys. Some of the sales reps I talked to made it feel like I was in a used car lot. I had to start screening my calls after a while. It felt a little risky spending so much money with a smaller company, but so far so good. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when of the $(five-figure) boxes was severely damaged in shipping, but they handled it beautifully and painlessly.
