Let's say we have money budgeted for a 3rd party software to handle the replication piece.
My question I guess is, is built-in replication software the only major reason to sticking with same brand SAN? -----Original Message----- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 10:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: 2 Different brand SAN for Primary Data Center and DR Site That could be a loaded question. First with the Equalogic you could set up the SAN replication and depending on your DR needs 95% of your job is done. And I have seen this done on 4-5 separate occasions and it takes 15 minutes to setup. Then once replication is done you are good to go and it requires a pretty small pipe to keep replicated. Of course that depends on how much data you need replicated. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Guevara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 12:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2 Different brand SAN for Primary Data Center and DR Site We are using an Equalogic PS5000 for our primary data center. We are looking to make a DR site, is it a bad idea to use a less expensive brand a model, for example something like the DELL AX4 or AX150 or a Storevault S500?
