We are about to move on to the next step of buying a storage for the VM server but I need to know what will be an option for fault tolerance.
We are thinking of getting the Dell Equallogic PS4000e for a storage space for the 2 VM Host server for HA.My concern is hardware failure can happen anytime and I would like to set up another alternative solution to recovery while the primary storage is under repair.
The ideal setup will be buying a second PS4000e unit but that will be over my budget. What will be another option that we can setup for a minimal budget for a backup for this kind of setup.
I am thinking of buying the MD3000i (next year budget) for a failover storage or some kind of replication process.If something happen to SAN (PS4000e)then I can switch to the other SAN (MD3000i).
Your input is greatly appreaciated.
Thank you.
Collin M.
