Fiber Storage solution?

Stratus_ss · 09-25-08, 09:55 AM

So I am looking for recommendations for a fiber and storage solution. By that I mean some sort of disk array (with or without hard drives) that has a fiber connection.

We need a practical throughput of 200 MB/s or greater so I was thinking 2 or 4 gigabit fiber. Problem is I dont know where to start looking.

So if you guys have any suggestions that would be great

Only fiber I have experience with. I know alot of times for the array hardware I'll pick up items on ebay then purchase new drives to use....

Anyway, I'm sure someone that knows about the kind of fiber that YOU are talkign about will be along shortly.
