said by fifty nine:Yeah I know.

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.
