My boss was gagging at the thought of a SAN because he is under the 
believe that by the time you buy and set up a SAN you might as well buy 
iSeries disk.  But maybe we need to rethink that versus an independent 
Linux server on PC hardware.

Right now our email Domino partition takes 377GB.  We have no email 
retention policy.  Some of it is several years old.  No size restrictions, 
etc.  We offered - management refused.  Now, when I think about it, we're 
only talking about 4-6 drives (depending on size) to hold all of it. 
However holding all of it means that our 270DSD is near capacity and our 
backup runs too long.  That's why we're looking at archiving.

So, since we can get a 500GB Linux server cheap maybe that's still more 
effective than SAN headaches.

If we start talking about moving the 1.5 TB of data stored in TSM then 
maybe a SAN makes more sense.
