Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: comparison HP-san vs netapp
Jeroen,
NetApp depends on TCP/IP to use their products. Now that's NOT a bad thing, but you need to isolate the file traffic from your general network. With a SAN your using normal disk io channels into the switch, which effectively isolates file activity from the network. It's your choice, but having to use NFS for everything can become one heck of a bottleneck.

Hi,
I need urgently a qualitative comparison between an SAN (based on eva3000) and netapp F825 environment concerning oracle. We have been tallking to suppliers now for weeks and suddenly a manager comes up with a netapps alternative and we have a deadline to decide already weeks ago. Anybody with real good links or shortlist of conclusions, criteria on this?
Thnx in advance,
Jeroen
