Re: money money money money..... MONEY! said by kamm:Exactly and beyond the storage size and bandwidth your shared fs licenses ($3-4k per seat) can run into tens of thousands of dollars, depending on your server/access configuration, all this on top of your FC or Infiniband hw costs. What kind of array did you buy for 200k btw?
We bought a 3Par S400. Nice price, but one of the system controllers had RAM that failed twice. No problems since though. |

I put two Storage Server 2k3 R2 w/ multi-Gb eth on front of it via 4 gig FC, to do FC->LAN and FS/metadata and the rest of the host ports connected to a 16-port 4 gig switch.
What FS are you guys using?

For the Linux boxes it's LVM with ReiserFS. For Solaris we're using vxvm/vxfs. |

BTW Reiser got 15 to life last year, you know that, right?

I used to work at a much larger DC where we had Veritas Cluster filesystem, RAC and the like. They had a couple hundred TB of storage. This was a financial company.
Now I'm at a different place that deals primarily in media. It's quite a different environment. A lot of our storage is for video content, including HD streaming and on-demand for cable companies.
Completely different needs. |

Not necessarily: we deal with high-res media as well, scientific stuff but the main SAN users are usually the 3d/fx guys.
