I currently am using a Dell R420 to run Arcserve R16 on. We run Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape for backup up of our all physical MS servers. I need to add more storage to this server but there's not enough room for internal hard drives so I want to add external storage.
I looked at Dell's least expensive unit for this, the MD1200. It's very nice but is more than the budget will bear. As a backup target, I think something else would do fine for less. Here's what I'm looking for...
- 12 Bay 2U Rackmount
- RAID 10 with online expandability (6 GB SAS / SATA)
- Initially setup with (6) 4 TB drives
- Dual power supplies.
- Trayless would be nice.
- Web GUI management.
And of course low cost with great support!
Thanks.
