    Couple this with the SuperMicro AOC-STG-i2 dual 10g card (less the $500.00) and you have a cost effective ISCSI SAN infrastructure that should be able to support several virtualized servers and up to 2 DSS's if your doing failover.

    SAN's are not cheap, but ultimately the way to go.
    We are a cisco shop here, so whatever we would get switch wise would have to be cisco. However the cisco switch I would be getting has 2 10 gb module ports on it, its a 24 port 3560-e. We have one of those already on our core and it is working well. I do believe this is the way to go.

    Or after doing some looking around it looks like I can source some used/refurbishe 10 gb or even 20 gb infiniband equipment for about the same price as it will to go ethernet, would that be a beter route?
