Rajagopal, with all due respect storage @ 200TB requires a different dimension of IT enterprise infrastructure and expertise. I am sure you will agree that putting it together is not the main thing. It is the recovery in "What if ....... happens?" Up to 10-20 TB, I feel comfortable rolling my own. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
