I have a nice support agreement with them. They go to the colos and take care of EVERYTHING relative to the SANs. I buy my Aberdeen servers preconfigured w/o hard drives and with the FC cards preinstalled. Then I do FCIP between each colo so I can manage the files as local from my "distribution" servers.
When my contract with EMC expires, I will actually probably be migrating to all Aberdeen setup using their SATA SANs. I can get 2TB DAS w/ controllers for a much lower leasing price and all my computer hardware will be single source. I love easy. :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Sorenson Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 1:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] Re: I need help!!

I've been an EMC customer since 1998. Their stuff is good, and if you tell them what you're after they can optimise the SAN for your usage needs. But a SAN is no different than a disk array in that it can be tweaked to meet your needs. Co-location is another kettle of worms that should be opened under another topic. - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings? There ain't no vikings here.
