Recommend a Good SAN
Hi Experts,
I have a project to buy a good SAN. We currently has MD3000i / MD1000 on 2 Sites. We cant replicate these 2 SANs for DR.
Can you recommend me a business class SAN which has built-in replication feature.
We run ESXi 4.1 and we don't want to use any software (Veeam, vRanger) to do the replication be cause it takes a snapshot and replicates and deletes the snapshot. During a snapshot deletion the VM IO stops for 10mins and this takes our site and servers down.
So I decided to get a SAN to SAN replication but the MD3000i does not have this feature.
My Budget is around £15k. Please recommend me a good SAN.
--------------------------
Details: 40 -50 VMs
(10SQL, 2 Exchange, 5 IIS, rest Application VMs)
Guest OS : Windows 2003 / Windows 2008
ESXi 4.1 Enterprise

Doesn't make any sense at all, the article and all the comments on it are from after HP bought LeftHand.

HP 2000 has business copy if licenses, replication will work fine.
