Justin, Hi! Do you know if NetApp has replied to your friend's company's concerns about their filer versus a SAN? This redundancy issue a come up several times. The SAN guys make this claim in their attempt to unseat NTAP filers because they can't beat them in head-to-head performance. It was addressed in one of NTAP's technical papers titled "Enterprise Storage: System and Data Availability" and can be found in the technical library of their website. It's a good read and very informative. Many companies are using a combination of NAS and SAN for their websites. They are using a SAN for the database and OLTP (on-line transaction processing) and a NAS NTAP filer on the front end to handle the graphics and file portions of their web pages. A filer will certainly ease the burden on the SAN because the mundane file and graphic info requests will be handled by the filer. This will free the servers in front of the SAN to handle OLTP. Something to think about. Best, Duncan
