[ILUG] Re: [SAGE-IE] Storage Solution recommendation

[James McCarthy]

a solution is getting an xserve raid from apple.
thats some of the best hardware and for the price it cant be beat.
at Euro 5,371.07 excl VAT for 1000Gb, and theyre hot swapable(i think)
if you dont want to fool around with osX you can put linux on it.

or you could try dell, you might get a cheaper machine but i think it
wont be as good quality as something from apple
