NAS, how to make a choice
I am looking into the choice between netapp FAS2020 and EMC NX4 or
NS120 it will be used to host our VMWare environment that holds around 20 servers with low processing and low IOPS the plan is to host our more demanding servers in the last Q of this year, those would be a number of SQL servers and 1 exchange server the proposed storage so far is 11 disks of 450GB for EMC or 12 disks of 300GB for NetApp all of this is servicing a middle sized company with about 150 users what is my best option and because of the crisis the most reasonably priced? thnx |

There's lots of fly by night storage vendors, almost all fail, or have junk that doesn't work in the first place. I'd steer towards netapp though for something so small though. |
