If you're dragging cables sure, but you might have a ethernet cable already in place. Currently option is to get a PoE-powered switch and split it off that way which is extra device to manage.

Yeah at that distance I'd just say fuck it and pay extra for fiber. I guess ability to power via same cable is an advantage here vs having to still have separate wire (or say local solar+battery for sensor).

And in case of database it doesn't give you much. You still need 2 nodes for redundancy, if you don't need a rack's worth of storage for that database, using SAN for that is waste of money. I know the corporate idea of "

No wonder. SSD gives you raw storage. You're losing some (at worst could be even 50%) for redundancy just to start. SAN Flash controllers are hideously expensive because they need to push tens/hundreds worth of SSDs to tens of ser
