It is pretty good. It is definitely cheaper than Dell EMC. It is cheaper than Pure. It is cheaper than VAST. It is definitely cheaper than HPE. The only one that is on par with NetApp's pricing for enterprise customers is IBM. IBM is good, but unfortunately, there are not as many trained people out there. It is harder to support. Most of the IBM storage people are on the IBM mainframe. As a Windows-based and Linux-based shop, not a mainframe shop, it made more sense for us to go with NetApp.
