Agreed. Nobody sane would bother to buy a US$50k+ storage unit without knowing this information first, it is weird to not publish it up front. Two ports is way too little for this class of hardware, IMO. They need to add two more. One needs two ports per host for HBI and cabling redundancy, and usually one will also need to be able to connect a minimum of two separate hosts to the same storage (for HA redundancy). Typically, a high-uptime HA setup would have two hosts connected via two PCIe links each to two Violin boxes.
