cool. so I have a few thousand VMs of various OSs and hypervisors, a few hundred home-built applications with an average of 10 components each, some mainframe, some ibm-i, a bunch of linux, solaris, aix, and HP-UX server, and I'm using mysql, sql server, postgres, oracle, and a couple of DB2. there may be an informix DB or two somewhere - I don't know, I manage storage. about ten different volume managers, about 30 different filesystems - and some raw disks of course. 10PB total space, it needs to be metro cluster replicated ten miles away for active/active, and async in a different state can be about a minute behind max.

So, write me some software that's going to make all that work and make the storage highly available. make sure it works for everything.

you're exposed to solutions that make that work, daily. when you swipe your credit card buying condoms - you have no idea how much happens so your transaction doesn't get lost, corrupted, or errored out.
