Don't forget HDS (Hitachi Data Systems) - they make storage frames in a variety of classes. Both HP (XP series) and Sun (9900 series) sell re-branded HDS disk frames.

I've heard good things about EqualLogic iSCSI arrays, but I've not implemented them myself. Network Appliance makes appliances that can be NFS, CIFS, iSCSI or Fibre-Channel. I've administered many NFS-only and NFS/CIFS Netapps in the past, but I've never ventured into the iSCSI or FC arena with their devices. If you can afford their product, it's a good one. Of course, EMC has some well-known active/passive (Clariion) and active/active (Symmetrix or DMX) arrays, but they tend to be _very_ expensive. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | . | | | . | | | .
