Hello Hunter, I was communicating with you about years ago when I was going to buy my EMC clariion cx600. I bought that and I am using it for oracle and SAP using dual FC.
What I really need your knowledge is a compare list or ad/dis-advantages of Network Appliance (netapps) over EMC SANs. I do not know who to trust and I need your independent idea about this. If you were to get one of these for your SAP environment, which one you would buy and also how to evaluate these two SAN dealers.
I do not want to be the first genipeg to experiment with SAP/oracle/Linux/Netapps (our future target is Linux redhat).
We are thinking to move from HPUX to Linux redhat for future of mysap ERP 2005, Oracle, package.
Also: when this is done, we might have 2 or more EMC Symatrix to get rid of. I hope one day you could help me sell them too, if they worth anything.
best regards,

Mehrzad, Glad to help.
Since you are getting some new gear, are you getting rid of some old gear - Systems, disks, comm gear?
My company lists IT components for companies. We are like a real estate broker. We jointly arrive at a retail selling price and list the gear. We only get a commission if the gear is sold. Generally our clients get about 2.5 to 3 times what a broker or system's vender would give them on a trade in.
It's a confidential listing so we field and handle the calls and you see final the offers. We earn a 20% commission and you retain the rest on sale. Everything is cash in advance into bank escrow accounts.
Let me know if this of interest to your company and who I need to talk to if it is.
Thanks,

Mehrzad, The EMC CX600 is a hardware/microcoded RAID protected disk array that has no file system equivalent or functionality when compared to a Filer. The CX600 is referred to as a member of the CLARiiON (TM) family. It was introduced as a low cost alternative the EMC Symeterix.
The CX600 in and of itself has no standalone function like a Filer, i.e. filer, FTP serve or Web page server. For example, the CX600 cannot act as a file server. It must be connected to a Unix, NT or EMC Celerra that provides the file services. These servers use the CX600 as a disk array that provides LUNS. Refer to the following SPECFS link:
http://www.spec.org/sfs97r1/results/res2002q4/sfs97r1-20021111-00119.htm l
While the CX600 has many software products like : mirrorview, snapview, etc... these all deal with blind copying of logical disks with absolutely no idea of what state the information or file systems in on them. It's nothing more than a RAID protected disk subsystem. Please refer to the following link to EMC's data on the CX600:
http://www.emc.com/products/systems/clariion_cx600.jsp
The benchmarking you desire has to be put into the context the target environment. What do you want to get tests on. File server performance? Backup and recovery of complete file systems? Specific applications? MB/second tells nothing - where as my Oracle application ran 2X faster does. Or my backup and recovery times have been cut to 1/4.
Good luck,
