Hi all,
Not looking to provoke a row here, just looking for objective answers.
NetApp has a lengthy and mostly positive track record when it comes to NAS -
no real debate there ( or is there ? )
Just because EMC are associated traditionally with high-end SAN, does that
mean that, almost by definition, their offerings in other segments are bound
to be some way off the pace of the "market leaders" - whoever they may be ?
We're a large-ish DMX / Clariion estate (SAN) and are looking to evolve our
file/print from a server-based to a NAS-based architecture.
If you were me, given that we're an EMC shop, wouldn't you be minded to look
first at Celera and ( if pushed ) then look to see what the other major
players offered as opposed to merely going with the "received wisdom".
The netapp stuff is easy to setup and run. You don't need large stupid
"enterprise" management suites to run the thing- just a serial console for
the initial setup, although there's probably some webgui in the heads now.
You can get the same level of service as well, where some tech shows
up with spare disks at 3am, all at probably 1/5000th of the EMC price.
