At first don't compare the mentioned list prices with the street prices for components.
This is why small companies, startups, and people new to the storage world hate working with storage vendors. I understand the economics, I get why they sell storage the way they do, and I like my 70% discount off list price, but it makes for a horrible user experience.
If I were a cleverer person, I'd apply an every-day low price model to "enterprise" storage.
- lsc 17y agoI went with the reseller I did at svtix, primarily because they were upfront enough to list prices on their website. http://egihosting.com http://egihosting.com - I don't want to spend time fucking around over price, and I'm sure you don't want me to waste your time. Post the price, and I'll buy it or I won't. Seriously, If you say you want six figures for your product, I'm walking. I don't have that kind of scratch, and I'm not going to waste your time or my time lowballing you. If you really mean $30K, well, I'd have to scrimp and save for a few months, but it's doable if the product really does solve more than $30K worth of problems for me.
