Eric,
To answer your question, the S500 is not yet Oracle certified but NetApp is working on this.
Regards,
Tim
good morning,
Thank you for this information,
do you (or somebody else on the list) know whether the StoreVault
product(s) are or will be certified for usage with Oracle database as
described in
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/vendors.html
("Network Appliance" is mentioned, not Data ONTAP).
regards,
eric

Toasters,
I have an amendment to send out regarding the StoreVault
product. I left off some important information that has to deal with the
service and support differences between the StoreVault product and, for
example, a regular filer.
