Hello,

I am considering an Open-E setup with Dell PowerEdge 510, H700 Controller and 2xSFP+ ports for 10G iSCSI Connections.

I have a few questions:

1. Open-E DSS compatibility with SFP+ controllers that are available with the 510.
2. What type of performance is expected from a setup with a Quad core E5645 and 32GB Memory.
3. What backup options available so I could possibly backup data at the DSS level?

I have worked with SAN appliances, and have no experience working with a software such as Open-E DSS. So the questions may sound pretty basic.

Thanks for the help.
