Durkee chose NAS instead of a storage area network(SAN) for a few reasons. 'We needed to build a very scalable, fault tolerant array of computers using hundreds of computers,' Durkee says. 'SANs are limited to about 160 nodes per SAN. That's not good enough. SANSs require additional hardware interfaces in each machine...NAS only needs the network adaptor.' " (From tekboy's find) Now that's an interesting twist! Durkee chose NTAP because it was more reliable and scalable than "SANs".
