Yeah, but are we going to have to wait until Dell finishes the acquisition of HewPaq? ;) >They are who you might want to watch for the newer NFS protocols that >are coming. I think you'll find they will be open standards as well. If they don't get their lunch eaten by the bigger players in the game. EMC, Fujitsu, Compaq, and Maxtor to name a few, are all out there going after that space, as are companies like DotHill (which has to be one of the dumbest names for a company I've heard ;) I actually heard a remark that one company is going after the True64 storage market just because it's a $250 million/year market space completely owned by Compaq. If they can get even 10% of that market, they'd be happy, since it's hurting their competitor, Compaq! Storage is a tight and fierce marketplace. NetApp ain't all that big compared to some of the players. -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
