We switched from NetApp to DELL ( PowerVault 210S ) mainly because of the $$ :o) NetApp are really good but really expensive as well.So it depend how much value you give to your data. Netapp as well have tons of features that linux boxes +PV210S can't do :Clustering volume copy, out out the box snapshots,etc.. | | Any comments on this setup is welcomed Now i think DELL realease their 220S with 14 disks in a shelf so that would have the bang for your bucks. On the otherside, NetApp comes with a very nice , proprietary , OS that's quite simple to use. So best price/performance => DELL If you have unvaluable data => NetApp (+ backup :o) | | Regards | Darren | Philippe.
