UpNorth:

Some of these oversimplified explanations of NAS ("like the G: drive in a network") ("uses the office LAN") are true, but completely miss NTAP's real advantage.

Thanx again, for tirelessly putting the Storage debates into perspective. I own both, but probably not enough NTAP.
Can't decide whether I should reinforce Gemstar or Ntap should I ever again come into some capital. <g>

But the best part: isn't it great that so many continue to "completely miss NTAP's real advantage"? Great for future investors, that is.

<NAS is not the disruptive technology. Dis-integration of the file system (Windows/CIFS; UNIX/NFS) by WAFL is the disruption.>
I am learning something here. Can you give an example or two of how this works.
Does the software enable the user to go find and retrieve two separate data stored in different filing software and ...etc. (help)?
