Hi all, Thanks for replying. A NAS is not what I need. I work in an airport where I would like to have 2 sites linked with fibre, that constantly communicate and synchronise their data. I have heard about running server operating systems off a SAN also and have it so that when you lose a server, another box can take over. I may be talking about the million dollar solutions without realising it though. Thahs not really important either ATM. But what we really need is a SAN solution that can replicate data between two sites, have a good backup solution and make it one we can expand in the future. I will look more into Dell, as all our servers are Dell. Does this really help the situation, having the sane manufacturer for servers and SAN? Thanks Ripken, I will have a look at that wiki also Good work, I have plenty to read for now

Hi Everyone. This is my first post with MSFN. My question is about SAN's. I need to know what sort of SAN's you would recommend and the cost. I have a budget of £40k to spend on a SAN for the company I work for. But. Where do I start. I am asking anyone with any experience with them to voice your opinion. Which one do you have experience with? Was it worth it? Have you heard of any better ones? I see the likes of Dell offering SAN solutions, are they any good? In an ideal world we would like Redundancy, Scalibility, Backup and to have two sites linked with fibre. But in reality £40k may not be nearly enough. Any ideas anyone. Thanks in advance...
