I don't have experience with any of those vendors. However, I am a big fan of the Netapp product line. They can be used in an ordinary SAN (iSCSI, Fiber Channel), or a direct fileserver (NFS, CIFS). Awesome support, reliability, documentation, etc. Also their popularity and community size really help. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
