Guys & Gals,

We're looking at getting some cheap iSCSI storage for our DR site, not that bothered about having SAS disks, SATA will be fine but it must do the following:

- VMWare compatible - This will be its main use
- Ideally thin provisioning
- RAID5 or above
- Capable of a 14TB+ capacity

The main use for this will be to create volumes for virtual machines, so need something with enough throughput to host quite a few machines (talking around 10-12)

I've seen the Thecus N12000V & Drobo B800i, but are these capable of handing this many servers?

Budget wise, we need to be spending around £5k, nothing more with it being non-live servers

Any suggestions?
 
We ended up getting the Qnap, thanks guys. Most of the servers will be rarely used and as long as it can keep up with the load on the rare occasion that its required, then thats fine
