Yes, we're currently evaluating a NetApp filer for a software development environment. Their disks are very expensive. How much of a discount can you typically negotiate?
Also I'd be interested in anyone using NetApp filers in a Clearcase software development environment, particularly performance issues, how many developers to a server, what size servers, how you organised the servers, etc
We have about 70 developers, and 200GB of data (about half of this is clearcase data).
