NTAP talks to any client on a network that supports the CIFS or NFS protocol, whether the system (client) is made by IBM, Compaq, Sun, HP or Acme, Inc. - any other hardware vendor that talks CIFS or NFS. There's no requirement for a certain client for management of the system, it manages itself. If the client talks CIFS or NFS: "It just works."
