Need opinion on storage and backup solutions.
Hi Fellow DBAs, My company is thinking about dumping EMC (we have everything, symmetrics, connectrix, EDM, cellara etc). In your expert opinion what's a good alternative to go if we really need to replace EMC. Is Hitachi storage good? Does Veritas' backup solution do the stuff EMC/EDM can? What would you pick to replace EMC? Any information is welcome.

Re: Need opinion on storage and backup solutions.
IMHO , HP's XP256 or XP512 is very good alternative . I have been using it for almost 1 and half years and I found it very good. Although , I have to do everything from scratch since HP doesn't have any 'best practices' in it yet ( actually we are the first to purchase it in east coast and I ended up doing a lot of research on it ) Now having finally tuned almost all the issues , I have OLTP with 300 ms response time restriction running on it with > 400 TPM rate along with 500 Gigs plus DW . It has all the ( Almost ) features of EMC like BCV etc . BUt down side it I think it is little pricy ( Little..? What an understatement !!) Hope this helps Cheers , RS --- Richard Ji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Fellow DBAs, > > My company is thinking about dumping EMC (we have > everything, symmetrics, > connectrix, EDM, cellara etc).

RE: Need opinion on storage and backup solutions.
I second that "curiosity" - why would you want to replace EMC? If you already have the EMC infrastructure, cost must not be an issue, right?

RE: Need opinion on storage and backup solutions.
Richard, I second that question. We are using EMC storage now (with NT front-end) as well as EDM for Rman backups. Why are you thinking of dumping EMC?
