Took me 3 years to migrate 25 petabytes of storage off standard SAN design to move it all behind a storage virtualization management framework.. by the end, that 25 petabytes became 40 Petabytes... That was 3 years with no free weekends..

@Rafoof, painful. What's the quickest deployment you've ever experienced?

As an ISP; probably the installation of a fibre (FTTB) in less than a week:

  • Order validation at D0
  • Set up of equipments (CPE) + operator part done at D+3
  • intervention of technicians on the customer site on D+5
  • Administrative delivery of the order the next day...

=> Very satisfied customer !

With most "big" operators, the usual delay is 4 to 6 weeks minimum.
