How much of a "SAN" do you need vs. a shelf of disks? EMC has new VNX stuff coming out that's around the $10k pricepoint, I think. IBM DS3xxx series stuff is also relatively inexpensive, but it's more like SAS attached disk instead of a real network. The switches start making things more expensive... -Adam _______________________________________________ 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/
