I've got two conflicting pieces of information that I'd like to have sorted out. I initially thought that clustered failover was available on the F760 late last year, and that it was coming to the F740 sometime this quarter. I was then told by a Netapp vendor that last year saw the rollout of clustering on the F630's, and that I should only expect clustering on the F760's this quarter. Clustering on the F740's was not in the plans.
I'm pretty sure I heard right the first time, and I'm told Netapp demonstrated an F740 cluster at LISA'98. I bought a pair of F740's on the assumption that I could get clustering on them for 1999Q1, and I'm about to buy another pair on the same assumption.
