Hi
I am working for a non profit organization in Belgium with a low budget (around 25.000 € for all investments).
Have a spare budget for maintenance around 10.000 €.
I am looking for a new storage solution for next year.
At this moment I have 2 vSphere 5.5 U3 hosts (Essentials Plus) connected to a HP P2000 MSA G3 SAN with SAS cables.
DPack gives us following result > Throughput : 55 MB/s ; Max IOPS : 1300 Average IOPS : 1000 - 1100 IOPS.
I have about 8 VM's (3 * AD, 2 * RDS 2008R2 , SharePoint Services 3.0, Exchange 2010,File & Printserver) . SQL Server is also needed for the future.
Bruto capacity at this moment is 7.2 TB (12 * 600 GB 10k SAS disks) , Netto capacity is 3.6 TB (Have 3 RAID-5 LUN's with 3 disks and one spare ).
I am looking at the following storage solutions for entry level storage connected by 2 x 1Gb Switches (iSCSI)
- EMC VNXe 3200 (14 * 600 GB SAS 10k/15k disks)
- Nimble CS210 (8TB raw capacity , 6TB netto capacity)
- HP MSA 2040 (14 * 600 GB SAS Disks)
- Huawei OceonStore S2200T v1 (14 * 600 GB SAS Disks)
- Dell Equallogic PS4100XV (12 * 600 GB 15k SAS)
- Dell PowerVault MD3220i (14 * 600 GB 10k SAS)
- Dell Compellent SCv2020 (12 * 900 GB 10K SAS)
Which of these solutions do you advise me ? Other sugesstions are also welcome
Kind regards
Roel
