Hi, Thanks for this. I was looking at having two units in buildings connected by fibre as active/active, and one unit on the end of a slower link as a replication standby. The documents on the Dell website seem to suggest this may not be possible without a solution like DPM, is this something you are doing yourself? Thanks.

Hi,

Netap are on the list of possibles yes. The others are the HP Lefthand network line, the Compellent line, and the Dell Equalogic.

It will probably be the HP or Equalogic atm, although I like the features of the Compellent. If any of them are more usable with speech I would put them very high up the list.

Thanks. Andrew.

What about Netapp?

Hi,

I am in the market for a SAN at work, and note that a lot seem to use a Java based GUI. Anyone come across one which has a usable web GUI or remote admin app?

Thanks. Andrew. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins

Hi, After further discussions with Dell the units can only do asynchronous replication so that is no good for us. The HP P4000 system is probably the one we will go for, no idea on accessibility of this yet though...
