[rescue at sunhelp.org]

It depends. One company's model is to have scaleable access to storage=20
:and: cpu power based on needs (response time of 10 minutes to add or=20
remove).

I lot of them are using EMC hardware an pathlights for DAS that is=20
moveable in near realtime (server failure results in DAS being moved to =

another server and rebooting within 1min!)
