-- my actual employer

(the actual problem is our SAN is getting us a grand total of 10 iops. No, that's not wrong, 10. The "what the christ, just buy us a system that actually works" momentum has been building for 2 years now but hasn't managed to take over. Hardware comes out of a different budget than wasted time, yo.)

A cynical person might point out that for empire-building managers the goals are :

1) minimize hardware spend at all costs

2) maximize lost time (if spent under the manager's control)
