Interesting. So you had a SQL Server instance, paired with a failover backup on hot standby (using Windows clustering), serving up data from a bunch of disks attached together in a SAN, right? Which SAN products did you use, and how much did they cost?
- trezor 18y agoThis was a HP EVA San solution with fibrechannel interfaces and hence somewhat costy, but it was used for the entire organization (file-clusters, VMWare-clusters, Exchange-clusters etc etc), not just the SQL Clusters. Apart from that teenie weenie bit about having an officially supported clustering-setup, I see no reason why you couldn't have used some random Linux iScsi NAS-solution, for instance powered by OpenFiler, which is 100% free.
