Selling LeftHand was hard enough, now every HP VAR will be able to sell LeftHand so once again the margins drop. Time to recheck out the independents like Falconstor and DataCore.

DataCore has announced a program to lure LeftHand resellers
Already happened - DataCore has already announced a program and others will likely do so to quickly target the LeftHand resellers.
LeftHand Hardware
When we tested iSCSI arrays a few months ago, LeftHand shipped us for testing their software loaded on HP storage arrays; they reformatted the arrays (which normally ship with Windows Storage Server) to put their own software on them. LeftHand seems to have a long relationship with HP and HP hardware, and this seems like a good thing for those worried about the integration of LeftHand into the HP world.
What about those customers with Dell and IBM platforms?
First question, if it is just a HP server and disks why pay such a premium for LeftHand. What happens to Dell, IBM, and non HP platform owners.
