Re: Do I really need a SAN?

Christian -
If you are using Fibre channel, and want to do this cheaply, get a QLogic 1400 switch, and ATTO 42ES cards. This is a "cheap way" of making a fibre network happen.

If you want to use Ethernet for your SAN, you can use a managed gigabit ethernet switch (like Small Tree Edge Core ES4524D), a multi port ethernet card (like the Small Tree PEG4), and aggregate these ports, to feed your other computers. If you want great inexpensive SAN management software, nothing out there is like Tiger Technologies MetaLAN.
