Lets keep this simple.
Ive got (purely fictional) a company that currently has a single office in the UK. They are going to expand to europe with a second branch office.
Along side implementing a virtualised infrastructure (server, desktop etc) they want to, and I quote from my asignment brief, "consilidate their existing storage into data centres".
Now im not sure how to approach this. Im thinking ...
Outsource the storage - Both offices will have a mirrored san, but will send the data off site to a managed storage network elsewhere for DR.
Have a dedicated storage facility site in the UK/Europe, two LUNS (primary/secondary) and a tape backup for DR. Then a san at the offices which replicate data to the dedicated facility lol.
What do.
