Failing to have central shared storage (iSCSI, NAS, SAN, whatever you prefer) fails the smell test on a local enterprise-grade virtualization cluster, much less a shared cloud service.
Hi George, Why would you imagine that a $30/month virtual private server is built on an enterprise-grade virtualization cluster? You know what it costs to builds fibre channel SANs and blade servers and DR. In what universe does $30/mo per customer recover that cost during the useful life of the equipment? A VPS is 2012's version of 2002's web server + CGI and a unix shell. Quite useful but don't expect magic from it. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
