Thanks guys. Budgets is another factor for us, so I will check out HP/Lefthand. HP is pretty strong in this market besides the big boys like Netapp and EMC.

I'm in the middle of looking at a storage project myself, and one of the companies I'm looking at is HP/LeftHand. What I like about them is that they are modular... you need more storage, just buy another node. What I *don't* like is that you're buying the intelligence all over again... not necessarily a bad thing, considering their prices. :-) -- Thanks, John Aldrich Blueridge Industries IT Manager ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
