Hi all.
Currently I am administering a mail cluster in which messages are stored on software RAID shared with NFS. There are several NFS servers, every one of them exports a part of all mail files for a specific frontend with postfix.
We are thinking about replacing these storage hosts with one solution, maybe a storage array with appropriate disk space and I/O capacity. What are pros and cons of that solution? Do storage arrays have appropriate I/O capacity (X*software RAID)? Does it scale good? Does storage capacity also scale good in those solutions?
Best regards, R.
