Hello

which shared storage solution is supported by Qlikview server .

i'v found here that the only one is windows shared files and nas in only few cases .

https://qliksupport.force.com/articles/Basic/Does-QlikView-Support-NAS-Storage?articleId=Does-QlikVi...

Can you give more details about that ? in which case is supported on nas storage ?

Thank you Brett,

We will probably stik with that (SAN) .

For the SAN Unit .like described bellow it means physical one i think ? But will it works if we use logical SAN over iscsi protocol and which will be installed on the same windows server with QV server ?

I know that in terms of performances the physical is more efficient  but i think that will be enough for us to start(10 applications 300 users)  .

Mohamed, I would not recommend putting file services on the QVServer, that can become a potential bottleneck if the QVServer gets very busy handling the users, it would be best to have a separate file server machine...  If the 10 apps are pretty small and have very efficient data models and the users will not be creating a lot of server objects etc., then it may be ok, but I would keep a close eye on things...  The VM hit these days is much smaller than it used to be as well in regard to performance, provided the VM host machine is not oversubscribed...  Be sure the VM admins understand our product is more like SQL Server than it is a File Server...
