[Veritas-bu] Recommended FC array for D2D2T process
Ed, a JBOD is typically a bunch of disks. Typically in a DAS attached to a SCSI controller. Of course the SCSI controller can also have RAID functionality. The NexSAN and Promise arrays I mentioned also get grouped into the JBOD category, but by definition differ a bit in that the RAID functionality is built-in. Semantics I guess?! That said, for low end storage of backup data, it serves it's purpose and support is fantastic. And sure as heck beats using an additional shelf of EMC disk or NetApp disk. +-- |This was sent by mnab...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

A NexSAN array is not a RAID card - our lower end SATABeast have dual-controllers, redundant 4Gbps fibre channel ports and iSCSI connectivity. We've got a half dozen of them. We don't like them much but that's a different issue. .../Ed ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I've run into a lot of folks using either Promise FC arrays or NexSAN arrays. They are lowend boxes with RAID cards, that do nothing more than act like a JBOD. Most folks use these for D2D targets or archiving destinations. There are a ton of options out there, pick your technical requirements and budget, then narrow down the field of choices... +-- |This was sent by mnab...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Hello, we are trying to reorganize our NBU policy backups by adding using D2D2T. One solution is to use low cost FC array (SATA disks). Do you have any recommendations regarding such solution (in terms of performance) on condition that: - there are about 20 - 30 policies per server - there are 4-6 servers - policies start at 22:00 - 02:00 - almost all policies should finish at about 6:00 - 7:00 - each server pushes about 2TB of data - we should have space for at least 2 days of archived data Regards Przemek ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
