My biggest problem is the amount of jerk-off sellers. We asked for i) a san ii) some direct-attatched external storage The amount of vendors who took those comments on board, asked what we wanted them for, and then promptly quoted for a NAS device was quite depressing. Idiots.

My favorite one I've heard lately: "Well, it uses fiber to attach to the SAN so it's much faster for Exchange." -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 2:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange and SAN As long as you don't buy into the great white lie of SAN's, you're golden. That lie is that there's no performance hit created by taking a single large array and carving it into a bunch of LUNs - there's a physics issue there. Other than that, its just a bunch of disks, just like the SCSI attached ones you probably have now. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
