Can you share some of the reasons related to your decision in choosing a direct-attach storage (DAS) instead of a SAN? In general, a SAN is a much smarter choice than DAS.

  list, one of our clietns are going to by SAN, the current oracle databases take around   36GB of storage.... i dnt understand there reason to go for SAN, i sugguested to buy an external storage   box instead. How can i justify my desicion ? (cost of not the factor)

  TIA
