SAN Storage

• Dell SC4020 Storage with FS8600 NAS:

• After RAID configuration, approx. usable on SAN is 65-70 TB

• 20 TB is allocated on compute-1 for providing space to users for their home directory. The same space is shared on compute2 as well via NFS, So that user can access both machines(compute-1 and compute-2) with same shared home directory.

• 3 TB is allocated on cluster of two web servers on High Availability

• 2 TB is allocated on compute-3 (windows based server)

• 2 TB assigned for NAS Storage.
