If the 7310s can meet your performance expectations, they sound much better than a pair of x4540s. Auto-fail over, SSD performance (although these can be added to the 4540s), ease of management, and a great front end.
I haven't seen if you can use your backup software with the 7310s, but from what I have read in this thread, that may be the only downside (a big one). Everything else points to the 7310s. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
