-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've very in-frequently seen the RAMSAN devices mentioned here. Probably due to price.
However a long time ago I think I remember someone suggesting a build it yourself RAMSAN. Where is the down side of one or 2 OS boxes with a whole lot of RAM (and/or SSD's) exporting either RAMdisks or zVOLs out over iSCSI, FCoE, or direct FC (can OS do that?) If the RAM and/or SSD's (or even HD's) ere large enough this box might be able to serve several other ZFS servers. A dedicated Network, or direct connections if there are enough ports, should eliminate the net from the being a bottle neck. A sub $100 UPS (or 2) could protect the whole thing. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing it at the moment. Anyone else have any ideas? -Kyle -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMGN7DAAoJEEADRM+bKN5w35EIAKX5T96Ls4wNQUMEtHKp1qpM cu3TlS+h+2vRGMYq0ZMnudiEvGlvxOldifSUHkHWWVMqOsPZplMcBJMoDXOQgChU i4NPSMTnjPT3zRxLeOm6ZCrfHv4/rYr4RNYjN2DUcaXHrfGdMXg0aYFAoJxObnwx zMNB8xLqqlXDIkSo3i9ONZAbvVbHehs8V3az63j/P+AyyQcyhu96xR3wjJZpfDnI N7kE3id9o8WNufw35KyQy3w/bOAvhh8dXsuZm81rpaq6VQ1wS5AnRVQ48mhbYua9 kZNy8eLrobOBR2YCZZFoLrXVQWYfSVMV/pL0fYUf2J12P7EETk6LHKnr3Hy7W2E= =XDQw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
