Re: why SAN ? why not external storage ?

[Tim Gorman]

Can you share some of the reasons related to your decision in choosing a direct-attach storage (DAS) instead of a SAN?  In general, a SAN is a much smarter choice than DAS. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rahul To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 1:33 AM Subject: why SAN ? why not external storage ? list, one of our clietns are going to by SAN, the current oracle databases take around 36GB of storage.... i dnt understand there reason to go for SAN, i sugguested to buy an external storage box instead. How can i justify my desicion ? (cost of not the factor)   TIA rahul
