Re: SAN Vendor support for IBM i?

Hi Vern

Well, yeah but consider Richard's statement:
"Out of curiousity why do you need a SAN for your i if not storing IFS
style documents ?"

This kind of implies that the only reason for considering a SAN is if
you need storage for IFS documents.

I would have just thought needing storage might push you in that
direction so was wondering why the IFS documents were significant to
his question.
