NAS Replicaiton
I recently started peeking at SAN features including replication but I'm
wondering if a NAS devices can have this feature, too.I would love to buy a couple inexpensive NAS devices and have them replicate changes between each other for two offices. Can you suggest a vendor for me? Thanks, -Bob |

Can you suggest a vendor for me? This feature will cost you more. While possible to do in a Linux-based NAS, AFAIK nobody offers this. Undersnatdably, beacuese it a) mokes the device operation a whole lot more complicated. After all you would need something like a distributed RAID or a clutser-filesystem with this feature. In case of promlems, manuab intervenmtion may be needed, hence it would create support cossts. And b) it is a feature that can be sold as expensive "enterprise" feature. Arno |
