Looking for a new SAN
Hi,
We are currently looking for a new SAN solution, and would like to get some reccomendations as to some providers, models or general information on SAN tech to look into. We are running a Windows virtualised enovironment, with ESX 4.1. We are looking for a system that, first is not overly complicated to setup. Second, has good support, both warranty and technical, and third has good proactive management capabilites, be it monitoring tools, great alert tools or somethings else you find works for you.
So if you have any suggestions, I would like to hear it, the more the better.
Thanks
