Hello Everyone,
First, I would like to apologize for this long post.
I was assigned to design a SAN solution for our company. They would like to migrate our Oracle database to this SAN solution. The problem, I do not have any SAN experience and I don't think they will pay for training.
I did some poking around (google) and learned a few things. I also purchased a book, SAN for dummies (0764524801). Despite of this mini-research, this seems to be a daunting task. I need to come up with quotes for parts and software to implement this project and a solution.
I do know that I want to stick with Sun Solaris products. I'm currently looking at StorEdge 3510s arrays and a V480 as a host. As for the switch, I like the Brocade E200s w/ 16 ports (4G transfer rate). For the software I need to run, I have no clue.
Please advise on a simple SAN solution for our company. We are currently housing 4T of data and they are on Sun's StorEdge A1000s running Oracle.
Thank you in advance,
