Hi all,<br><br>I&#39;m currently thinking about similar configurations, and (also for cost<br>reasons :-) am also thinking about GNBD with two standard servers as a<br>&quot;poor man&quot; redundant storage - but I&#39;m wondering if that gives enough
<br>performance for running databases (in my case Oracle) on top of it. The<br>configuration I&#39;m thinking about would be two current Dell servers with<br>hardware RAID 10 and connected by a dedicated 1 GBit crossover-cable,
<br>running both the cluster software and Oracle.</blockquote><div><br>It depends on the number of queries and how they use the indexes, this will generate the I/O that may or may not be too much for a poor man&#39;s solution.

experience with it?<br></blockquote><div><br>I&#39;m afraid I don&#39;t have a practical experience. <br><br><br>- Nicolas<br></div></div><br>
