You critiqued the presentation of the enterprise subject in general, with the statement that Apple doesn't care about enterprise. Once enterprise solutions were off the table and a non-enterprise example was provided, you proceeded to defend Apple's lack of storage management, by saying people can solve their storage problems with enterprise SANs. > That said, big companies have SANs.

I'm not talking about hundreds of terabytes. You are basically proposing a SAN for a single photographer or a single video workstation. And you're right, they would need a SAN on Mac OS because Mac OS lacks good storage management that exists for FREE to any Tom, Dick and Harry who downloads most any linux distribution because lvm is used by default in most of them. But Apple doesn't have that functionality. > Apple doesn't need to supply the drives, servers or tape libraries to have > Final Cut Pro editing video in those shops. > > I've been in those shops. There are plenty of Macs. But no Apple enterprise > hardware. Not asking for it. Not expecting it. I'm suggesting they are way behind when it comes to storage management and file systems.
