Please forgive me if this is (and I expect it is!) a stupid question.
I am looking at purchasing a used SAN for shared storage which has 2 x 4Gb fibre and 2 x 8Gb fibre ports. Originally I had planned to buy a storage server with 10Gb ethernet, and a Gigabit switch with 10Gbe uplink ports, connect the server to the switch via 10Gbe and have 1Gbe out to the individual workstations however the SAN that has come up could be too good a bargain to resist.
So with that in mind, can I do a similar thing - get a switch that has fibre ports for connecting the SAN to and then Gigabit out to each PC?
Thanks in advance
