Cheapest SAN for testing by
Stan
Hello all,
I need to come up with the cheapest possible SAN (or facsimile) for
home-testing of some clustering technology. I've found some cheap

SCSI and IP over Fibre Channel by
Erik Hendrix
Hi,
We are currently implementing a SAN backup infrastructure on which we will
do backups for our databases.
