We currently have a large (4TB) database attached to a shared NAS via 1Gbe. The limited bandwidth is killing our backup performance.
I am investigating using a dedicated JBOD as an alternative. The storage device is a Supermincro JBOD 847E16-RJB0D1. The controller is a LSI 9280-e. The connectivity would be SAS.
The system it would be connecting to is Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise. The bit I am not sure about is whether this setup would be compatible with Clustering as the system is setup as an active passive cluster. Would it make any difference if Multipath IO was used.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at my question.
