I just joined this mailing list, mainly to hear comments about the NetApps in practice. Our lab is planning to (maybe) purchase a NetApp F220. The simple question is: Is it worth it? ie. where are the true savings that justify the high price?
As a comparison, it's possible to get the same amount of NFS disk with 2-3 times less $$. Will the additional features make up for it..
What was the deciding factor for you to get it?
(Sorry if this is a boring FAQ)
I just asked it; I got many replies. I will forward them to you!
