Small computer for fast copying

[TheGuy]

Hi Guys

Can anyone advise me on a device I can use for fast copying.

I currently do Replication from VMWare servers to our DR site. Now sometimes if we do big changes I have to re-seed to a local disk and then drive it to the DR site for upload.

I'm looking for roughly the following:

10Gbps Nic
10TB of Storage RAID 0
SAS if possible
Needs to be small so it can be transported easily

You need something like this http://www.ciphertex.com/Products/NAS/CX-4K-NAS.aspx

Edit: Something with a local distributor,

Will do 2x 10Gb Ethernet in the expansion slot.

Thanks it looks good only problem is it uses software Raid which means it will be slow.

How about building your own custom box with one of those cube shaped LAN chassis? This way you can chuck in hardware raid & 10GB ethernet cards. Will be more bulky though.
