Hi Kathy,
I attended a meeting with NetApp's Database Marketing
Manager 2 to 3 years ago. I discussed with him on how
the technology of the NetApp filer works with Oracle
database environments and why he feels that NetApp is
a solution for Oracle databases. The meeting was a
result of me not supporting NetApp in any Oracle
environment.
To keep a long story short, here is what I learned and
now believe:
At that time, what was told to us by him was that they
(NetApp) were not ready to be pushed in the market of
OLTP type of databases because of performance
limitations of network systems.
I learned that NetApp is a valid (maybe not the best
solution) storage solutions for data warehouses and
databases where performance is not a critical
requirement.
NetApp is an expensive solution compared to other
storage solution providers. The markup on hard drives
alone were insane. However, the administration of the
netapp filer was very easy to understand and perform.
Regards,
Satar
