Thank you. One last question (most likely)...
What difference would it between having a separate storage server as SANS or NAS (especially utilizing something like FreeNAS) for live vm storage + failover? At least in the instance of using CS for a cloud platform. Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Nux!

Would this make sense? Yes, this makes sense. The failover SAN/storage is optional. Good luck! -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro
