Some question for you , <br />
<br />
1) is this on a New SAN setup<br />
2) planning for replications ? <br />
3)24TB on 15k rpm drive, max 600GB Capacity per disk so you will have more than 40 disk. <br />
is this usable or raw capacity required ?<br />
4)do you need only Block storage or you need a File combination (unified storage solutions)<br />
5) how many host is connecting ?<br />
<br />
:)

Thanks meyersd. kinggekko, answers below:<br />
<br />
1. Yes<br />
2. Maybe in the future, not now.<br />
3. Usable<br />
4. Unified<br />
5. 6 Hosts with Hyper-V (possibly 2 clusters) running 40 guests in total

We are planning to put in a new storage solution at work. <br />
What is your preference and why:<br />
<br />
1. IBM V70000 series<br />
2. DELL EqualLogic PS6000 series<br />
<br />
We are looking at a 10Gb storage LAN with max 24Tb SAS 10k to 15k.

Storage Controllers - IBM vs Dell

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
