Question on PetaSAN clustering

Hello,

I have three physical servers each has 1TB , 2 TB and 1 TB of storage in built hard disks.. Can  i use the petaSAN software to combine these 3 storage from these three servers as a single one volume ( altogether 4 TB) to be used in windows for backup purposes? How can i accomplish the same?

Please advice.

Thanks.

 

Yes you can, please have a look at our quick start guide it will give you a good overview of the system.

Note that because of replication, your net storage will be 2x or 3x less than the raw disk capacity depending on how many replicas you choose. Last it is always better to have symmetric hardware so the load gets distributed evenly, so it is better if either all nodes are 1T or 2T, however you can still go with your existing configuration.
