Andrey,

The vendors we're talking to are:-

o For DAS - we're putting a quote together ourselves.  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.

John , would you mind telling which NAS and SAN  solutions have you looked
at or been pointed to by the list,
and which approach / vendor / product is the leader so far ?
