[Cialug] Which software to use for a SAN

Mon Jul 5 10:42:32 CDT 2010

We're currently looking at NexentaStor to serve up NFS to our ESXi servers used for VDI. Looks fairly decent from my testing inside a VM (waiting for proper hardware to test it on). Dedupe and support are the main reasons we're looking at NexentaStor (although it looks like FreeNAS may do the same with ZFS).

Need to start putting together some arrays with 4+ TB of backups on them. 

Not sure whether to use Nexenta, Openfiler, or FreeNAS. Will probably be using software raid and want to have SMB support as well as being able to run vmware images on them.
