Hi there,
I just received pricing from my integrator on the 1U and 3U servers - wondering if the server price is inclusive of any cartridges, or if all cartridges are to be purchased separately? This is not clear from the specs.
1U full (4 disks) is $9,995 msrp
Is that a decrease in price in the last year or so? I remember the 1U being $7500-$8000 ish MSRP and disks about $1200 per - that gets me just south of $13K fully loaded
Yes, K lowered the disk costs several months ago, and also established new configurations for the Servers. This led to a slightly lower cost.

Presumably for existing 1U owners, they can buy a new empty 3U + 1 (hot spare) disc and migrate a 2/3/4 disc file system from the 1U server to the empty 3U?
