Hi All,
I'm looking to get some more storage. currently we have a variety of Equallogic units, which do a job but I've never really been blown away by them (mixture of newer/older models). Before the Equallogics we used to use MD3000/1000 DAS units, which were always fairly reliable if not necessarily top of the class.
I'm looking now at the MD3460, plenty of capacity in only 4u, 12gb SAS connections, expansion ports available etc..
What I'm wondering is, if I only want to connect 2 or 3 servers to our storage, is it really worth continuing down the Equallogic route, given the PowerVault units seem much better value for money and avoids the need for iscsi switches etc.
The primary use would be for clustered file servers...thoughts please!
