3. Can you recommend some SAN Disk? I'm thinking to go with EMC, but expensive compare to dell or hp or hitachi.
4. We are running RedHat.
Please provide any comments. Thanks in advance.

Hi Morgan,
I work with IBM and I was just reading your post and wanted to leave you with some information about IBM Total Storage Solutions. Depending on what your budget is there are some very good pieces of hardware available to help you do what you need.
You can look at the IBM DS3000 this would be a good starting point and also very affordable. I will leave some info and if you have any further question or would like some more information I would be glad to help you out.
IBM DS3000 storage info:
IBM System Storage DS3200 : Overview - IBM System Storage Disk Systems
IBM System Storage DS3200 : Features and Benefits - IBM System Storage Disk Systems
IBM Entry Level Disk Storage: Overview - IBM System Storage
I hope this helps and possibly put IBM up for consideration for this project. I If you have any questions please feel free to message me either via private message or email @
sversa@ca.ibm.com
Cheers,
Steve
