The 7410 is their solution which does allow for redundant heads. It's basically an X4240 with three SAS HBAs, and two open slots for other things (like quad-gigE cards), and they plug in some Flash Read Accelerator devices into disk slots. That plugs into J4400 shelves, and you can have up to three Flash Write Accelerator devices (no more than one per shelf), which get plugged in as disk devices in the shelf. It's something we need to test. We haven't had much problems in the past with our NetApp heads, so we've only recently gone to a configuration where we're going to cluster some of them. We're just thinking about dipping our toe in the USS 7410 water, and we don't know if the redundant head thing is going to make a difference for us or not -- it all depends on the budget and the application. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
