I need to figure out a shared storage solution for a VMWare install. My previous install is an older Dell Equalogic SAN.
I want to go with a SAN over a FreeNAS so that I can have dual controllers.
I don't need the latest and greatest generation so I'm hoping to be able to find some good gear on eBay or a used reseller.
I mainly want something that can take flash disks (24x1 or 1.2 GB drives) , and dual 10G iSCSI connectivity. With exception of one VM, we typically are skewed towards Read heavy versus Write heavy, most VMs are even though.
I haven't kept up with product lines but hopefully there is something commonly found on the used market that we would fit into.
