Not just in terms of size of data, but also of performance and reliability. Typical SAN setups use FibreChannel interfaces with multi-gigabit bandwidth and very fast and highly reliable hot-swappable RAIDed disk arrays. The lowest end offering of this type that I've ever deployed is already 500 GB expandable to 2 TB in the future, direct attached fiber and RAID 5. Cost: PhP 250,000+. -- General purpose money is what allows people to trade tracts of rain forest for Coca-Cola. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
