Thats with BiDirectional, both links at 4 GB/s. Were looking for something to scale to 24 if not 30. It is in constant time wait also of about .30. It has what I call an ROI (return on investment) of 5 mins and longer, witch needs to be cut down greatly, 30 secs to a min. The application supports 128 CPUs of which it's a PACS Appication that runs in almost real time. The bad thing just throwing money at storage is not going to work, we have to have a 30 - 90 day POC, period in house.
