To get that amount of IOPS, you're likely going to need quite a few Isilon heads, which has the perhaps undesirable effect that you will have many more TB of storage than you need as a result (making it more expensive). You might talk to the guys at Berkeley Communications. They do smaller solutions like this that may or may not work for you. I've been dealing with a guy there named George Chang on a different project with similar storage size and IOPS requirements. (all or mostly flash). BlueArc could also easily do this, for a price. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
