We have built a small SAN using 3ware SATA controller and Mayastor sotware.
The next step is to find a cheapest but reliable true sharing SAN filesystem.
All (3-5) clients/servers will run WinXP. They are video editing systems.

All the prices are bit hard to find but so far I know that ImageSAN is about $1500 per server and
Sanbolic Melio about $3500 per server. I have heard also that the Melio is more stable than ImageSAN.

Could anybody suggest something else from the cheapest side.

Thanks
Priit

Never looked at price but I imagine from the Windows side you're a
fairly captive market. Alot of things exist for *nix but only a few
I've heard of for Windows. Polyserve may be an option since they do
support Windows, but no clue about pricing.
