Has anyone built a Cluster in a box solution using a shared SAS JBOD?
I am looking for new solutions for my data warehouse as my SAN is end of life. SAN costs are very high (especially if you go SSD or enough disk to offer high IOPs) and I am interested in going for a JBOD with SSDs running a SMB3.0 fileserver in Hper-V for all the database files, and the SQL 2012 installed on another Hyper-V instance.
The problem is there is very little real world talk on this solution and how well it really works.
So can anyone share any real insight as to how this performs and any issues regarding getting this working.
Thanks
