A SAN is no magical wonderbox that makes every disk I/O problem go away. Please, please plan your disk i/o subsystem according to your usage load, adding a little extra is also a good idea. Remember caching aside were still working with mechanical spindles that can only provide so much disk performance.
Don't drink the cool-aide, instead poor it out and make a rum and coke. If anything else a SAN only complicates your environment, but centralizing your data is a beautiful thing. -Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:40 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: SAN and Exchange No. But don't let the SAN vendor tell you that cache will take care of all performance issues. Be sure you understand and properly specify the underlying disk structure.
