NAS for SMB
| Posted by andretenreiro, 11-29-2009, 09:01 AM |
| I'm looking for a NAS solution to our business. We have several services (web, email, svn repository, etc) running in 3 different Ubuntu/Win2008 PowerEdge Servers.
Our currently backup solution is Tape, which I personally dislike it and and an external USB Disk.
I found several solutions such as Iomega's NAS, FreeNAS (requires to buy hardware) and OpenFiler. I would be nice if the NAS has support for NFS, SMB and rsync.
Let's say our budget is at the most 500 USD / 350 EUR (without taxes).
What do you recommend?
PS: Does Dell sell NAS?

| Synology DS409 or 409+?

| I would recommend using DRBD with Linux HA. I've used this in a NAS setup, had two machines with one having 10.1.0.10 and the other 10.1.0.12, the virtual ip was 10.1.0.11. When node1 went down HA flipped to node two. Worked great.

| Synology DS409 or 409+ - a second vote. Reliable, easy to use, effective - have been using them here for about 3 years, absolutely no problems at all.
Make sure you set up the admin notifications emails, so they can tell you if a disk fails!
