Yeah but my HP rep never told me that a refresh was due. I accidentally stumbled upon this article and found out that many existing customers already know about an impending refresh. Whereas my HP rep was still pushing the about-to-be-obsolete 3par to me. I consider that an ethical issue . Also, who knows the new refresh may have 8Gbps FC or 10GbE iscsi support. Hence I think its prudent to wait and watch till the last quarter of the year for the new generation.
Well, I was considering 3par for a project but looks like this is one of those times where the vendor makes significant changes to their systems and it is prudent to wait for a while before the new range comes out and gets stabilized.
I would rather wait for a while rather than be the fool who buys about-to-be-obsolete technology in a clearance sale ! Hang on till the end of this year. Not worth it right now.
