Maybe a little off topic, but I know that there is a fairly large group of knowledge here. Does anybody have any experience with NetApp boxes? My corporate MIS group is trying to convience me to dump one of my Sun servers for a NetApp server. I know that they are supposed to be great in that they talk to everybody (nfs, Microsoft, Novel, Apple, etc), but I am wondering how fast are they? How reliable are they? Will they be able to replace a Dual CPU Sun E250 running hardware raid? I keep asking these questions, and IS keeps saying "Hey they talk to every platform natively!! There is no administration!". Also the bloody things are EXPENSIVE. Garl -- ============================================================================= Garl R.
