Xsan 2 has already been qualified to run on third-party RAID systems, which is only fitting considering the company’s decision to discontinue its own line of Xserve RAID offerings. A company spokesman is quoted here as saying that the Promise VTrak RAID system offers compatible performance at a little more than $1 per GB.
The VTrak offers four 4 Gb Fibre Channel ports, dual active/active RAID 5 controllers, and can handle workloads up to 1.4 GBps sequential read and 617 Mbps sequential write performance.
