[TriLUG] [OT] iSCSI SAN recomendations

[Chris Bullock]

Currently, I need to put about 4TB on it for backups and a new system
implementation going live by the years end.  Assuming, it works to our
benefit, we plan to move our 30TB of Direct Attached Storage data to it. 
We need the ability to add disks and grow the luns as needed without
having to bring down the application.  We would prefer it to be able to
perform NFS, CIFS, etc.  We are currently leaning towards the NetAPP 3020,
depending on final price.
