Is there any reason you kept talking about SANs? SAN has its place, especially if you need high end performance. But for a lot of applications NAS works just fine.

We have a big Oracle running on NetApp 940 Cluster and it's been working great. Most of the time it is the spindle count that matters, not NAS vs. SAN.

Hey all; thanks for the many great responses. We have our NetApp vendor coming in tomorrow, and we'll discuss their SAN solutions then.

thanks!
