EMC.... Eric Z, thank you for your comments and research on EMC. While Merlin dings around surveying what we already know, I think the discussion on EMC/NTAP is much more fruitful. <g> This from the EMC thread, courtesy of Gus.... Message 15160021 snippet.... "There is just no way to develop that type of capability overnight unless one has invested like EMC in a billion-dollar interoperability lab that contains 250 server models, 40 operating systems, 50 clustering environments and 145 networking elements all subjected to real-world I/O traffic. EMC started investing in their lab in the mid-90s when they made the transition from the mainframe market to the open systems market. EMC expects to spend billions more on interoperability in the next few years. " Could one of EMC's advantages, or control of architecture, emanate from the "billion dollar interoperability lab"?
