I want to deploy SQL Server databases and Exchange Server databases onto an Openfiler box.
However, neither SQL Server nor Exchage will allow their data store to be on a network drive, the drive MUST appear local. As far as I understood that was the main distinction between NAS and SAN, NAS appear remote, SAN's appear local.

OF certainly lives up to the description of a SAN / NAS appliance in that it supports both block (iSCSI) and file (CIFS, NFS etc) based storage export protocols. You can also deploy Openfiler as a SAN gateway..... :) Cheerio, Rafiu.
