Dell does sell enterprise storage solutions like NetApp (some their own, some co-branded). Think about their SAN and DAS boxes... I'd have little troble with such a policy on their SAN's for example. But, a Poweredge Server is no NetApp. That is for sure... I find it funny that they use the phrase "enterprise storage solution" when refering to a Poweredge Server... Many of my PE servers store no data except the OS. I still want to mirror the OS in case of failure, but the "storage" is on a SAN/NAS elsewhere, not in the PE server... So trying to compare a PE Server used this way (not for storage) to a NetApp is apples to oranges. This is really true for PE 1U servers with only a small number of bays... > -Ronan -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
