CentOS - Jul 2009 - Lowest latency remote file system

Hi,

I need to deploy some network storage and I want to know which "type"
your
would recommend. The disks are Raid 10 but the storage needs to be remote
(within a private network)

Thanks
James

What sort of workload?

For lowest latency of course I'd suggest a private 10GbE network
with jumbo frames, keep the systems on the same switches, and use
a purpose built high performance NAS system with 15k RPM SAS/Fiber
disks and very large(4GB+) mirrored write cache rather then trying
to roll your own.
