Anyone out there using small-midsized (2-4 TB) SAN solution among multiple Asterisk systems? I don't have the budget for an EMC-caliber solution, and can't seem to find much else out there.

In the past we have used an IPStor backend serving up LUNs over iSCSI to intel and qlogic iscsi hba's directly on the asterisk boxes. It worked like a charm. I believe IPStor is fairly cost effective.

Afaik they are below EMC's price level. Sun's StorEdge 35xx are oem'ed from Dot Hill. See http://www.sun.com/storage/workgroup/ Or you could build your own with software from e.g. www.openfiler.org Regards, Patrick

Speaking from experience... stay away from EMC! We have several storage systems in production.. from multiple vendors... and I've had nothing but problems with the CX line of emc systems. Performance problems... hardware/crashing problems.. (they run embedded xp you know) and dead fibre port problems. If I didn't have two of everything.. mirroring across cabinets with IpStor we would have had serious problems. Just my two cents on the issue of 'EMC-caliber' storage... Jared
