Hi,
I am investigating the purchase of a new SAN for our VMware ESXi servers. Current we are using a Dell MD3000i and the performance from host to disks is slow. It is preventing me from running our SQL server virtualised. I would like to virtualise my entire infrastructure and need a suitable storage performance.
I have started investigating the options that are available for our budget and have come up with the following list from each vendor.
- EMC VNXe 3300
- Dell EqualLogic (Not sure which model is equivalent yet)
- NetApp 2040
- HP P2000
Out of these options and from your experience, which one will give us the best performance from host to disk?
Can you make a recommendation that is different that will give us a better storage solution?
Thanks for your opinions.
