Hey Everyone,
We're currently looking into getting some new servers, and at the same time to try to virtualise as many of our existing servers as possible. To help with this I'd like to deploy a SAN so we can make use of things like the HA and live motion capabilities from VMware/Xen.
I'm currently looking at the Sun 7110/7210 (http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/7110/) iSCSI SAN to give us in the region of 2.5tb - 3tb of storage space.
The Sun kit gets some good write ups, and is capable of replication out of the box (without paying extra!) which would be handy. I'd prefer to look at more than one vendor so does anyone have any other SANs that they'd recommend? Is the Dell/HP/LeftHand network stuff any good?
John
