I hope you will be clustering those storage arrays since email is such a vital service for any organization. What are your current choices? I don't think there would be any major issues as long as you plan you current and long term capacity needs. Let us know what are your plans at the moment. ------Original Message------ From: Rafał Radecki Sender: centos-bounces at centos.org To: CentOS mailing list ReplyTo: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Storage - posibilities? Sent: Jan 14, 2012 4:56 AM 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. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
