A customer uses a thirdparty array in their SAN with six file servers, two twonode Exchange clusters (< 500 users), and a large Oracle database server connected to it. Total capacity on the array is approximately 17 TB.
The customer will be deploying a Solarisbased ERP package within the next six weeks.
Performance has degraded to unacceptable levels and the customer is asking EMC to propose a replacement of the SAN and array.
Criteria for making an EMC recommendation are ranked as.
1. Predictable, scalable performance
2. High availability
3. Flexibility of the solution
4. Expandability (disaster recovery is a future need)
5. Minimal operational disruption
6. Price
Which proposal would best meet these criteria?
A.
Celerra NS80 running iSCSI for Exchange and Oracle, CIFS for file sharing, and services
B.
CX320 with NS41G for file serving, Cisco 9124 Fibre Channel switches, and services
C.
CX340 with NS42G for file serving, Cisco 9222i Fibre Channel switches, and services
D.
Fournode EMC Centera for archiving, Celerra NS40 running iSCSI for Exchange and Oracle,RepliStor, and services
