Re: Storage Feature Matrix
After all of repsonses to the EMC Limitations thread I was looking forward to some responses on this. What features or capabilities would you include? To be fair, this list was comprised after initial assumptions based on the tier of solutions we were looking at (ex: LUNs larger than 2TB were supported on all platforms). I'd like to see what other requirements people come up with, if you're willing to share. - Sean On 2/8/12, Sean Martin seanmarti...@gmail.com wrote: Ok folks, Here's a compiled list of features and capabilities in no particular order.

Re: Storage Feature Matrix
Here's the list of requirements we included in our recommendation. We scored each solutions ability to meet these requirements on a 1-5 scale. Our technical requirements played a role in determining each solutions ability to meet these requirements. The fun part was sitting down as a group and hearing how each person interpreted these list of requirements and why they scored each solution the way they did. Architecture Availability Ease of use Efficiency Performance Flexibility Licensing QOS Reliability Replication Reporting/Monitoring Security Local Data Protection Total Cost of Ownership Scalability Support Hardware Life Cycle Other 3rd Party Integration (ie Linux, Oracle…) Microsoft Integration VMware Integration On 2/8/12, Sean Martin seanmarti...@gmail.com wrote: Ok folks, Here's a compiled list of features and capabilities in no particular order.
