From what I heard from NetApp sales and managers for the past few
months, it seems the new NearStore product line will be a
cost-effective,
low-performance, large capacity filer designated for near-line storage.
However, I just downloaded the newest Quoter from the NOW site.
The new Quoter indicated that an R100-12TB preconfigured is priced
for nearly USD$330,000(Wow!!!). Is this an error of the new Quoter?
Or, NetApp executives really think they can use this AMAZING
price to compete with other nearline storage devices?
*Sigh*
