I'm planning our imminent storage/server refresh.
Right now we have P4000 split across 2 sites with 10GbE and a third witness site on 1GbE.
Our IOPS is very low (< 2000 @ 95th percentile).
My current plan is to spec up a pair of ML350's each with 16x3tb nearline SAS drives in RAID10 and a couple of SSDs.
I then plan on using HP SmartCache on the SmartArray to make the SSDs available as disk cache.
I then plan on running 2x VSA on each box (I need 2 to get the 20tb of capacity that I require).
The Storage Network would be 10GbE with 1GbE as standby adaptor.
Thoughts?
