Hello,

I was wondering if someone could aid me in theoretically designing a relatively basic storage infrastructure that would support around 500 users (mostly power users with light users as well), whom will be using vmware horizon view desktops?

Also how would i ensure data is protected at a data protection site 20km away?

What sort of switches would I use?

What sort of storage array would I use?

What protocols would be best to use? FC? FCoE?

How would i ensure data is replicated to the recovery site?

How would I interconnect everything?

Any information would be appreciated in helping me better understand how a storage solution is created.

Thank you
