Hi, 



I just wanted to add that CCS is testing out JetStor storage
arrays and we’d be happy



to follow up with results of our tests.  Here’;s
some info.



Thanks, Jann 



 



JetStor direct attached RAID devices
made by AC&NC



(http://www.jetstor.com/)
are used by a number of higher-ed institutions where a price/performance ratio
is important.  The University of California, Santa
  Barbara is using JetStors for their mail relay, FTP,
and NNTP servers.  Carnegie Mellon, Columbia,
and the University
 of Michigan are using it
for their mail servers.  Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is using them in
scientific computing applications.



 



They make a number of products with
choices of drive technology (SCSI, ATA, or Serial ATA), interface (2 or 4 Gbit
Fibre Channel, or U320 SCSI), and drive performance and capacity.  They
support RAID 6, which is similar to RAID 5, but it can handle 2 simultaneous
drive failures.  In particular, the JetStor SATA 416S can be configured
with Western Digital 10,000 RPM Raptor disks to achieve the economics of SATA
with the engineered duty cycle of enterprise-class SCSI disks.

Here’s some info.

I'm looking forward to seeing these results. I'm also
interesting
in how much these things cost because price is a key metric
in
evaluating storage products.

I've just ordered a 2TB Infrant Technologies' ReadyNAS NV
(http:
//www.infrant.com/products_ReadyNAS_NV.htm). It's
received
some very good reviews lately. It's a NAS filer with 4
500GB disks
that supports the usual RAID levels. I paid $1945. I'll
post
my results when they're ready.
