We already use ISCSI, but we aer thinking about VMWare and VMWare has
some nice features (e.g. VCB) which need an FC-SAN.

Thanks anyway

Jochen

        If you are looking at low cost san, I would go Iscsi, as long as
everything you need on Iscsi is on Gig ethernet ports, it should work
fine.

        Hi,
        
        as we use not too much SAN at our site i am not really used to
this topic. Yesterday i read an article about "simple SAN". "Simple SAN"
seems to mean as an plug-n-play solution. But what about the components
espacially the SAN-switches?
        
        Do we see really new (and cheap :D) SAN-switches or only old
products "reassembled" as a solution for small companies.
        
        Regards
