HP is finally catching up to Hyper-V with it's fail over manager?

Now what I want to know is why would you put out a great product like the HP Lefthand storage solution (which basically is a clustered SAN) and only include a Fail Over Manager that runs on a VMWare Server?

Why a Fail Over Manager? Well, unless you have tons of money and you can only afford two SAN hosts, you need the Fail Over Manager to maintain a Quorum should one of the SAN devices go down. I know this because I've experienced it! Thankfully they finally came out with a FOM that can run on a Hyper-V server!

WooHoo! Got it installed, now I just got to figure out how to configure the darn thing!
