We will build a SAN network. I am new in the server hardware technologies and because of this I have to learn much things.
As SAS is faster then iSCSI (3 Gb/s and not 1 Gb/s), we want to buy MSA 2000sa G2. Is it possible to have a SAN with the SAS interface? So, we won't implement a DAS.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: SAS for SAN
I would not call a direct SAS-connect a "SAN", but hey, by that definition a direct IP/FC-connect is no SAN either ;-)
Let's face it: the terminology does not really matter - different vendors use different terms anyway.
What matters is your business needs. Are you really looking for maximum bandwidth - regardless of what throughput the array can deliver (do you even have enough disk drives and what is the I/O request pattern) to fill a 1 GigaBit link?

SolutionRedundancy is achived by mounting two adapters in a server and connecting them to both MSA controllers.
Of course, that limits you to 4 hosts. The only way I am aware of to use more servers is to use a blade chassis (c3000/c7000) with embedded SAS switches and connect the external MSA to the embedded SAS switch.
