EMC NTAP VRTS This is posted as a response to tekboy, but is a question for any on the thread that are familiar with the NAS and SAN markets, and how Veritas software fits in to the storage value chain. I have read a bit on the Veritas site, and see that they seem to have a dominant position in enterprise backup systems and they support NT, Unix, Linux, and Solaris. I see also that they have struck deals to support and be supported by EMC and NTAP. I also got the idea that their software can be used to centrally administer and provide failure recovery for multiple drives, in multiple drive formats (SAN and NAS). Which brings me to my question: Is Veritas in a position in the storage system value chain to become an "open standard storage management system" of choice? Here, I specifically mean their software being used like an operating system to control all the enterprise drives and filers, that would render the Server, SAN and NAS hardware vendors to something closer to a commodity status. I will appreciate any insight from those who are close to the industry. This is pure conjecture on my part at this point. Thanks, Brian
