Thanks Vic,

We already have a SAN (initially setup for Backups only).
Now we have storage on it (Hitachi 9200) with more coming - Hitachi 9570 and 
9532.

What is the name of the NAS gateway you have?
And approx how much did it cost?

thanks - John

John,

We've been investigating SAN/NAS for more than a year and have finally
decided on a SAN from HP with a NAS gateway. There is a lot of debate about
whether NAS is adequate for database applications like Oracle or Exchange
although apparently some people successfully run both on NAS. We decided on
the SAN because we believe the block level storage is best for our
databases. I like the NAS gateway because unlike the netapp it will allow me
to install a backup client so I can back it up as a traditional client or if
I prefer I can use NDMP. 

Vic
