Thanks, Don. According to this link, there are 6 OSCP vendors:

Bill,
To the best of my memory, the only network attached storage vendors
certified to work with Oracle are NetAppliance and EMC. Anybody else and your
on your own. Also be advised that you need a dedicated network between the NAS
and Oracle server, and gigabit ethernet is not an overkill item.

Hello,
We are looking at buying a Procom NetForce box (a
Network Attached Storage solution) for
running a medium-sized (500GB) Oracle data warehouse
(currently, 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7). I would appreciate
any comments regarding Procom NetForce from anyone with
experience, pro or con. I found several messages regarding
network appliances in the archives, but none about Procom.
I have some specific questions:
1) Do Procom's checkpoints integrate in any way with Oracle
backup and recovery, or are they useless if Oracle needs
to stay up 24x7?
2) How well does their java-based administration GUI work? Are
there any system adminstration tasks not included in this tool?
3) Are there any helpful Procom utilities for fast Oracle data transfer
among different Oracle instances sharing the same Procom box, or do
you still need to use an Oracle-based solution (replication,
transportable tablespaces, etc)?
4) Is a gigabit ethernet connection between the Oracle server and
Procomm box essential? Any performance measures?
5) Is it best to install Oracle_Home, redo logs, system and rollback
tablespaces, and control files on the local Oracle server, and use
the Procom box for all other index and data tablespaces?
Any other advice or comments is appreciated.
