How much do you want to spend? How much uptime to you want? How fast must it be? How much data do you have? The official standpoint of this clown is that if you have huge amounts of data, money and uptime, you should look at something like the EMC Symmetrix or HP SureStore using RAID 1+0. If you don't, you could invest in a smaller, "cheaper" RAID (Clariion, various others); or JBOD with Informix mirroring if you have very little data. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
