No a "serious" option but it gives a starting point and includes all options o For SAN we're talking to Sun (T3s) and HP and IBM (in that order) o For NAS we're talking to Net Apps and Auspex Oracle certification gives some comfort (otherwise we could consider 100's of other NAS suppliers). I've now spent a day looking at the "NAS Vs SAN" story, and found highly conflicting opinion of the type:- o SAN is best for database use. o NAS just doesn't cut it for RDBMS applications o NAS using Direct Attached Storage (Software protocol) and dedicated gigabyte connection using fibre channel make it fine for 1000 user database applications o NAS runs faster than directly attached disk I'd be interested if you could add to the discussion.
