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.

RE: need some help on EMC
CX600
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,
Hunter M. Wylie

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:
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,
