> Like a NTAP zealot ...but I'm not, I'm just trying to guide you to be factual in your rantings. Well, at least you admitted the Oracle deal was a good one, that must have hurt. Now, I see what the rest of your argument entails for EMC domination of NAS: 1. Give away hardware, try to recoup with software 2. Seed IP4700 to Symmetrix installed base That's cool, it's a limited market, but the installed base is a good place to start. You have avoided answering these questions: 1. Why doesn't EMC benchmark with RAID "ON" for the Symmetrix, or Celerra or the IP-4700? Network Appliance, Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM and even Auspex benchmark with RAID "ON", what's the problem? 2. Why doesn't EMC management want to go head-to-head against NTAP? If I were EMC and really had superior products, I'd want to do this. These things bother me the most about EMC and why I give NTAP a bigger proportion of my storage investment than EMC. EMC had the perfect opportunity at the IP4700 introduction to choose a configuration that was exactly the same as NTAP's: RAM, disks, controllers etc. and show their superiority.... they didn't.
