Assuming that typical SAN configuration includes a storage unit like EMC 
CX500. The JBOD goes without a storage unit (Oracle 10g ASM does RAID 
10). Also ordinary SCSI disks could be used instead of SAN fiber disks.



And if not expensive, then at least more complex than JBOD. A storage 
unit, management softwares etc. If using JBOD and ASM, everything could 
be controlled from Oracle's the enterprise manager.
