Hello Everyone,
Can you please comment on what is best solution for storing network traffic. We have been graciously granted access by our network administrator to capture traffic but the one Tera byte disk space is no match with the data that we are seeing, so it fills up quickly. We can't get additional space on the server itself so I am looking for some external solutions. Can you please suggest something that would be best for Gbps speeds .
I have done this two ways in the past, first is the simple way, LSI raid card with lots of disks and some nice 10 gig capture cards. The 2nd way is to use Gluster, over a large number of hosts with infiniband connecting them together.
