Mike, I believe I have made that case pretty well in my second installment, some time ago: Message 12573356 I stand by that opinion more convicted than ever. In a nutshell, NTAP has a patented, software-based solution that supports CIFS, NFS, HTTP, applications, Oracle, Informix, and Sybase databases, streaming protocols and MS Mail. That solution is a disruptive new file system that overcomes the inefficiencies and sys admin overhead of file systems provided in UNIX and Windows. Applications using UNIX and Windows file systems run more efficiently. The total cost of ownership of the infrastructure required to support those file systems is much less with NTAP than with traditional file system platforms. No changes to applications or their Unix/Windows app server are required. Others will not be able to approach the price/performance/reliability of NTAP's file system unless they re-engineer their own file systems and avoid patent infringement with NTAP.
