The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
There is a line on cost relating to total disk needed. Below x amount of
disk, internal is cheaper. Then they approach parity and above y amount
of disk external is cheaper.
Also consider that your IBM i host partition is consuming IBM i Licensed
CPU and significant memory. Compare to VIOS which runs in other cores
and uses less memory. And with POWERVM now 'no additional charge' there
is actually a cost savings with VIOS over IBM i as a host.
Then you add in the flexibility that SAN provides and rapidly it becomes
the goto choice.
As I said, once you got SAN you simply don't go back.

We looked at SAN a few years ago. We deemed it prohibitively expensive. As of now the only SANs we have support our vmware environment. So there is some familiarity with flash copy, etc.
