Wicked Fast Storage Area Network at a Low Price
Data storage space needs for every manufacturer grow larger each and every year, and the info storage space costs grow with them. However, data storage arrays and storage area networks (SAN) have become a larger portion of the IT budget each and every year as well. Manufacturers which are seeking reduced cost, greater performance options to a conventional SAN now can take advantage of a comparatively new technological innovation referred to as ATA over Ethernet (AoE) to meet their requirements at a reasonable cost.
External storage arrays have become more and more common because producers can add disk drives and storage as required and have it obtainable to all their application servers. Simply because disk drives gain a lot more capacity each and every year, which implies the storage arrays get upgraded each and every few years as well. And storage arrays, quite a few producers are additionally upgrading servers because of the availability of multi-core processors, higher memory densities, and ten gigabit network connections.
There are three common SAN technologies in use for the effective servers to hook up to the storage arrays at the block level, which are Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Servers additionally can connect to storage at the file system level utilizing NFS or CIFS. These protocols are all complicated protocols which demand both lots ofserver processor chip cycles to operate, or dedicated host bus adapters (HBA). In addition to raising up the server prices, FC and FCoE demand advanced storage switches.
ATA over Ethernet (AoE) storage devices are able to present a lot more storage capacity at greater storage access rates of speed and for a lower value than Fibre Channel or iSCSI. On top of that, AoE has really low overhead so processor load is low and HBA adapters are inexpensive. The storage network is created with regular Ethernet switches, and is inherently secure because it is on the same subnet a the servers and storage arrays. The boxes additionally scale to large volumes of storage far better than FC or iSCSI based storage arrays because there is no high-priced and complicated internal control system required.
AoE storage systems have a benefit in quite a few deployment situations. Much better performance, a lot more storage space, and a lower price is a excellent mixture for the ATA over Ethernet storage systems.

Would this be a suitable computer for gaming?
I want a computer that will be fast, and have alot of space. I will be using it for computer games and using the internet.

haha, thanks for the answers guys.
I don't know that much about computers and I'm putting together a computer on dell.com and I just wanted to make sure I got some good stuff.
for gaming, the processor is way too wimpy, bump it up a lot. I would run the 8600GTS if they have it available and, if you want to speed it up, add a WD Raptor drive at 10,000RPM as the boot drive and use the 320GB as your data drive. the difference between 320GB and 500GB drives are only a few bucks. well, maybe not from Dell but when you actually buy the drives, so I would probably bump that up since 500GB drives are under 100 bucks.

What are the Differences Between Storage and Ram?
I see people confuse these all the time.
Storage is the amount of space available on the hard drive that stores any programs, file or information you have. You absolutely must have enough storage capability not only to store your files but also to run programs. If you have been storing pictures, music, word documents or any other data it does take space. Eventually you will reach the limit that the hard drive can store. With XP and above it will normally warn you when you get close to the limit. By luck most of the hard drives that are installed today are fairly large and can normally hold all the files you will ever be able to create. However, if you store large amount of large files it can happen that you could run out.
What if I run out of space?
First of all do not neglect any warnings you get. If the drive reaches a certain point it may not boot. This is because programs need some space for temporary files that make them work. This also includes the operating system. Your options are numerous. You could take the information (such as pictures) and move them to a CD or DVD. You could buy a USB drive (recommended) and start moving your pictures or other data to that drive. Although you could have another internal drive installed, I feel it is way to much work and may be expense now that there are USB drives. You will need to know if you have a ATA or SATA drive if you plan to put in an internal drive. If you don’t know how to install a second drive you may need to pay somebody to do it. With a USB drive you just plug it into a USB port and you’re done. You can also use a Flash drive if you don’t have too many files. However, they do manufacture them up to 16 GIG which will store quite a bit of data. These Flash drives increase in storage size and decrease in price all the time. If you want to transport files from point to point this is the only way to go.
What about RAM?
First and foremost it is NOT storage. It is also called memory. It does not have any ability to store any information of any kind. It is your working space or where programs go to do the work you need to do. If you even type a letter it takes RAM working in the background to get any work of any kind done. If your computer runs slow or you are have a hard time opening program, you may need more RAM. The cheapest and fastest upgrade you can do is to add more RAM. This will let programs load faster and you will be able to get more productivity. In the event more RAM does not help speed things up, there could be other problems such as a Virus or Spyware. There could be a hardware problem also.
If you are low on RAM, programs will try to use the Hard drive instead (known as paging). That is why things slow down. This is especially a problem if you are lacking hard drive space. This is referring to virtual memory and it can be adjusted although it is beyond the scope of this article.
