My PC/LAN manager came by and asked me if I could gather some
recommendations for SANs for companies running Oracle. Or types of SANS
even. That's real cut and dried is it not? (Tongue planted firmly in
cheek)
Anyway, I know everybody and their brother seems to be an Oracle
partner, so there's really no help there.
So, now I'm wondering how I come up with information to answer this
rather vague question.
I know we used to use an HP MSA1000 (entry-level SAN) that we had a
terrible experience with. I don't know if it was solely the hardware's
fault, or a combination of the hardware and lack of expertise setting it
up.
I assume I should start with a list of features we would like to have
and then cross reference those with vendors that can supply those
features?
Anyone know if Oracle provides consultation and recommendations for
storage?
Thoughts?
