Low cost SAN

Hi guys, our customer wants to have a low-cost SAN for R&D. it looks to have an obselete DL380G4 with FC HBA, however Im not really sure whats the cheapest FC SAN thatn I can have.
I was thinking of EVA3000, but seems too much complicated. Will an MSA1000 suffice for this?
2 x DL380G4 with HBA
1 x MSA1000 Small business SAN G2

the setup is this 2 DL380G4 server will connect to the MSA1000. will this be feasible? do i need a switch for this?

Re: Low cost SAN

The MSA1000 was available with hub or switch included optionally. Both may work for you.

Hope this helps!

T, any licensing requirements for this?
so the setup will be basically the 2 servers connects to the MSA1000 and should be able to see LUNs from it.

Hi,

According to Quickspecs:

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12095_div/12095_div.HTML


"All necessary configuration & management programs are included and there are no unexpected charges for extra licenses as your capacity needs grow or as you attach more servers."

HTH
