[TriLUG] Network Attached Storage Recommendation

[Jeffrey Macko]

Yuk.  Well in that case.  I'd go with Nexenta.  Slap an SSD in front of some slow SATA drives, lots of performance.

I use the community edition at home for running a bunch of VM's and I'm very pleased with the results.

This gets into the realm of interpersonal politics.  There is a lot of contention between the person managing the servers and the users of said servers and management is unwilling or unable to intercede.  I can't say whether or not the issues are due to intentional activity or not, but there is certainly an aspect of "I don't care" when it comes to solving them.

Part of the idea of getting away from these servers and going to an attached storage system, which I might put another location is to take it out of this persons hands by providing an alternative; one that is managed by myself instead of this person.
