DS, << The EMC/NTAP battle is a continuation of the battles that began with mainframe versus mini; then mini versus PC >> Good analogy (and a very good post). Thanks also to Greg for the FC viewpoint. - Eric -

Jerry, The relationship between NTAP and EMC has been consistently used as a great example of a technology with an initial small market value (NTAP's) loosening the underpinnings of the more established technolgy (EMC/s) as described in Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma. Have you read the book and what are your thoughts about that in the context of your modified opinion about the co-existence of the two technologies? Also, do you see NTAP's technology as a discontinuous innovation of EMC's technology? --Mike Buckley
