We have a number of customers that frequently deploy Atmos VE on ESX compatible hardware for both production and lab purposes.
Customers with existing storage hardware infrastructure often find that Atmos VE helps them to use excess resources more efficiently.
Happy to discuss specific thoughts or question on using Atmos VE in such an environment.

I have been using it in a lab environment for a while. Works pretty well and seems to get better support for each new version of Atmos released. I havent used any of the physical versions of atmos yet, so I cant compare performance, but over all seems pretty good. Post any specific questions and I can respond..

Great, thanks for offering to help. What protocol do you use with VE? Is it FC, iSCSI or NFS? How do you have redundancy on VE node?

I am using VE ontop of ESXi 4.0. The ESX environment I am using contains a few beefy physical servers with HBAs in them connecting over FC to an IBM array. I am using this in a lab environment so I am not to concerned with redudancy, but all of the typical VMware redundancy stuff works (DRS, HA, multipathing, etc).
