Hi,
I need to deploy some network storage and I want to know which "type" your would recommend. The disks are Raid 10 but the storage needs to be remote (within a private network)
What sort of workload?
For lowest latency of course I'd suggest a private 10GbE network with jumbo frames, keep the systems on the same switches, and use a purpose built high performance NAS system with 15k RPM SAS/Fiber disks and very large(4GB+) mirrored write cache rather then trying to roll your own.
