We are doing exactly that with a pair of S500's. My only advice on
those is stay away, go with the full Netapp FAS line or evaluate against
an EQ box. The S500's just

£15k a
month for an Asigra based online backup solution, so replacing it with this
replicating SAN setup would show a good ROI fairly quickly.

I'm building our VMWare environment on NetApp right now. Just about the
time I was getting into the testing and configuration of our ESX
servers, I originally planned to use iSCSI on NetApp as the backend but
stumbled across a TON of info regarding NFS. I grabbed a temp NFS key
from our provider
I love my NetApp SAN with NFS. It rocks the socks and with dedupe it's
even better.

We have a 100TB NetApp SAN that hosts most of our production virtualised
infrastructure. The storage guys say that it's very nice to administer, and the
price is much less than a comparable EMC. Also, just about all of the NetApp
kit uses the same hardware so you don't need to throw a bunch of
Ok, let me ask a clarifying question ... Isn't NetApp a NAS (Network
Attached Storage) and NOT a SAN. Their NetApp filer boxen run a proprietary

The line between SAN and NAS devices is blurring or even being erased
with enterprise-level gear.
Traditional SAN (iSCSI and FC) devices (like EMC) are adding NAS
protocols - FTP, NFS, CIFS/SMB, and traditional NAS devices (like
NetApp) are adding SAN protocols. Some relative newcomers
previously.
With VMWare offering more and more support towards NFS, it seems to be
the way things are going.
