Slacker, Good link on EMC. Thank you. Did some wingnut recently cast disparaging remarks about EMC management on this thread? <g> For dOWNsOUTH'S retirement reading enjoyment he might want to consider this light read: "Osborne/McGraw-Hill Releases The Network Administrator's Guide To SANS, NAS, And Network Storage" BUILDING STORAGE NETWORKS by Marc Farley Pages: 656 pp Price: $44.99 Publication Date: January, 1999 ISBN: 0-07-212050-9 An Osborne/McGraw-Hill Book internetwire.com After he reads it, perhaps he can summarize for us. - Eric -

This Celerra way of creating a "NAS" should be understood. What it does is ADD A LAYER between the network and the Symmetrix SAN server. So there are two servers between the network and the data--Celerra and Symmetrix. It is nothing like NTAP NAS, which REMOVES A LAYER between the network and the storage devices, that removed layer being a general purpose OS with general purpose file storage/retrieval methods. BTW, some early NTAP customers used NTAP filers connected to the network on the front end and to the Symmetrix server on the back-end to accomplish what Celearra seems to to today.
