Archive Server Vault Storage on SAN

Are there any know issues with the disk storage for an archive server (vaults) being on a SAN ?

SAN storage is how most of our mission critical servers are managed.

We are currently designing/configuring our new installation and it has been questioned if SAN storage would work.

I see why not, but looking for others that may be doing the same.

Thx,

Russell

We are running EPDM v2010 on a SAN, and have been since we started using it back in August 2007. Only on our 'main' Archive server though. We have 6 other replicated archive servers in various locations worldwide- they are their own server / storage within theirself. We currently have approximately 1.75TB of space in the SAN and over 800K files.

  Dean,
  
  Thanks for the response. We have consultants in doing the design an they seem unsure (or not familiar with) SAN storage, so they dismiss it as not supported.
  
  Kind of silly because it's just another drive letter to the server. Of course I understand the performance of the SAN needs to be acceptable as well.
