Currently have an NFS datastore. Looking to add an FC SAN as primary storage and utilize NAS for backups and secondary storage.
Setup includes 3 x HP DL380 Host servers. Any recommendations for an entry level FC SAN? Would like a unit that allows for direct connection of the 3 hosts via 8GB FC. Only require 12 drive max system and would only utilize 8 drives to start. Budget would be $20k or less for SAN, Drives, 3 FC HBA's and cables.
Thoughts?
Thanks
