Hello all,
I am interested in the AX150 iSCSI model and have a couple questions.
First off all, are additional hard drives purchased through EMC or a supporting reseller? I am guessing they are due to the drive casing to secure them in the drive rack?
Secondly, does any have any experience with these units? We are a mid size company and looking for a SAN solution to consolidate our data. Right now we are right around 500GB of dat, which isnt a ton but our needs will quickly grow up to about 1-1.5 TB in the new year. We will be primarily hosting data, exchange store and running maybe a couple applications. I am aware that iSCSI is limited to 1gbps vs fibre's 2 or 4 but for us I think this will suffice.
Thirdly, as far as server NIC's will any 1gbps capable card work or do they need to be of specific brand / model?
Any other feedback that can be supplied would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
