A SAN for our postgres deployment is probably sufficient in terms of performance, because we just don't have that much data. I'm a little concerned about needs for user and research databases, but if a project needs a big, fast database, it might be wise to have them shell out for DAS. My co-workers and I are meeting with a vendor in two weeks (3Par, specifically), and I think I have a better idea of what I should be looking at. I'll keep you all up on the situation. Keep the ideas coming as I still would like to know of any other important factors. Thanks again. Peter
