I've read this several times and I'm still not clear:Are you looking to replace just the QNAP or the Equallogic as well?If it's just the QNAP what will the replacement be used for - is it just backups?

Hey again - in more research on this I'm wondering if there is a solution for our backups that would allow for us to re-use the drives in our QNAP devices? Rather than buy 48TB of raw disk space again...
