FAO Geeks - SAN and NAS Combo-ish?
Right, I need a SAN and NAS
SAN needs to serve about 8 VM's across 2 servers - 30GB OS and 150GB Data each on average.
NAS wise, I need 5TB for backups etc.
What I was looking at was a HP MSA 2000i, putting 6 15k rpm disks at RAID 5 for the SAN and 6 10k rpm 1TB disks at RAID 5 for the NAS.
I was thinking iSCSI as its quick enough for what we need and it uses existing network infrastructure so no extra cost like with FC etc.
Anybody got any opinions of suggestions on this?
Thanks all!
