NOT average Shook From: Steven M.

FC connectivity for VMWare is cheaper on Dell/EMC, and for NAS connectivity, front-ending the EqualLogic boxes offer's more bang for the buck. -sc From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 12:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SAN Storage Can you expand a little on "migrating away from NetApp primarily due to cost"? Regarding the NFS question, only that I've heard a lot of good things about the flexibility NFS brings you and the fact you can expand and shrink on the fly so if you need 500gb for a VM to test something you can provision it and then reclaim it - obviously without the pricing I don't yet know what sort of premium we're talking.

We are migrating away from NetApp primarily due to cost. We are spinning up EqualLogics as iSCSI targets for our file servers and backup-to-disk options. Is there something that makes you want to lean towards NFS as a mount technology? -sc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- You are currently subscribed to ntsysadmin as: arch...@mail-archive.com.
