I'm a NetApp newbie looking for feedback from experience users of these boxes.
I just ordered a F85, but because of non availability of F85's was offered a 740 instead. I'm not as concerned w/ scalability as I am w/ performance. The data that it will host is under a 100GB now and should grow much beyond 200GB. The F85 that I ordered has 12 36GB drives which I figure will leave me w/ ~280GB of usable space.
There are 120 NT 4 workstations and a handful of UNIX boxes on this network. The majority of the data will be CIFS, some NFS and HTTP. I plan on moving all of the users home folders and shared data to the filer. The connectivity of the servers and filer will be at 100Mb and the workstations are at 10Mb.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Mark
