The recent NAS discussion has reminded me that I am in need of a crash course on Compellant's gear. The public compellant website appears to be full of marketing fluff and doesn't give me the kind of detail I need to be ready for some coming technical design discussions (storage is an important but, small piece of the puzzle) I'm running in a compellant shop. Does anyone have pointers to some real technical detail on how the compellant stuff works. I know a bit about Netapp and WAFL but I need to make some critical architecture decision in a compellant shop and can't make anything out of what I've found.
I'll have a compellant engineer involved in the discussion but I need to get better prepared, otherwise we'll lose what should be a solid interactive design meeting and turn it into a compellant tutorial. On a related note, I'm having trouble keeping up with the various storage vendor's technologies (e.g., netapp vs emc vs isilon vs compellant vs bluearc vs zfs vs lefthand vs equalogic vs HP vs hitachi vs others) and how they differ/which is right where. Has anyone seen a good primer that is detailed enough to actually be valuable? Thanks for any pointers. (We are also trying to work through the compellant engineer at this site to get me in touch with an engineer local to me but that is taking too long) Regards, Jon _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
