-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Managers, Thank you to all who responded on the san/nas, sun and oracle 9i question It's hard to summarise fairly where things don't have a one clear technical answer, but the following was suggested:- * If it is a supported Sun Cluster/Veritas Cluster storage solution, then it will work with that software and RAC; Sun's own 3510, 3960, 6320 and 6510 were suggested. * Sun, Veritas Cluster and EMC work well; * NAS is probably not the way to go. There is a supported configuration on NetApps site, but it seems no-one is using it; * Fujitsu hardware and clustering software was also suggested (of doubtful use to us); * Consider a cheaper intel platform solution (which we will be doing, but once the cost of the oracle licence and storage is factored in, is unlikely to be much cheaper). Thanks to Bertrand, Bob, Christopher, Octave and Tim.
