Thanks for the feedback. We agree on EMC - they like to sell hardware...... Of course they support DataDomain!
No, I have never setup a "proxy relationship" - anything you can offer about this process would be helpful! At this point, when it comes to any Windows users of the Isilon, we will have to go the "setup a dumb server to act at the backup box for the CIFS shares" like we do with lots of other EMC storage/mounts (we have one right now running 40+ TSM node/clients purely for CIFS backups). As for *NIX users/mounts, no idea how they want proceed on that.
