Not exactly. V-Series filers allow you to set a vSeries head in-front of non-Netapp disk (EMC, IBM, Hitachi, et al) and lay WAFL atop them and get all sorts of OnTAP goodness. Thats what I recall from my time at my prior employer. The VMWare guys had a heavy investment in EMC infrastructure for enterprise shared storage, management found additional disk costs palatable, but both wanted A-SIS goodness. Just prior to my bouncing, they were going to demo a V-Series to do a dedupe PoC.
FYI. Cheers.
