Agreed. For a long while Oracle was using NetApp for this purpose. I don't know if they still are. In our case, we will have a SAN as well as NAS services, so we can choose one or both. The most difficult battle is getting past the DBA team, who still insist on wanting to know which specific spindles in the SAN arrays are their dedicated RAID-1 volumes. Sigh. -Adam _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
