Midrange Storage Choices
I'm wondering what other low to mid-range RAID solutions people are using. Is there a reliable third party vendor selling dual-controller RAID subsystems for use with HP-UX servers? Are you buying used HP equipment? What?
I'm not at all interesting in the Compaq Storageworks devices. I had two DEC versions of these and have no intention of buying more.

Re: Midrange Storage Choices
I don't think that EMC will be any less expensive, either.
There are quite a few no-name disk vendors out there, too. They're your best bet for great pricing, but you are taking your chances with the quality and support.
Yahoo! has a list of storage device vendors (some do not sell to the public, nor are they necessairly appropriate, and they may not work at all with HP-UX), but it's worth a look if you're thinking of buying non-HP equipment. It should be enlightening, at least:

Good luck!

Re: Midrange Storage Choices
For the cheapest RAID solution, but a RAID 4Si card and a standard JBOD array (SC10 or DS2300) and use RAID through it.

Re: Midrange Storage Choices
This is why software tends to be less expensive then hardware - but don't forget that you're giving up a lot of features.
Good luck!

Re: Midrange Storage Choices
I dont think buying used storage devices is a good idea. Price/performance are decreasing/increasing very fast and upgrading a old device is often more expensive then buying a complete new.
If you look at 3-party storage, check which RAID controller is used. It is the most important component of a storage device and different vendors often use the same controllers (CMD,Mylex etc.). Check for the Mylex FFx2 controller which is VERY fast. Another interesting RAID solution is the Chaparral RIO RAID.
