Hi Tony, I am not sure if it is appropriate for me as a NetApp employee to forward you a msg which includes customer names, so please handle this in a discreet way. I did want to let you know that 1) at least one person has good things to say about your product 2) another person would like to see more info on your company's web site. If you know the right person to contact, perhaps you could get the Trend website updated with more info? But perhaps you will not be putting info on the website until the beta test is complete? I am glad to see interest in your product and I hope it is very successful! Jim Uren

This looks very promising. Is anyone aware of when Trend is planning to release further products for virus scanning on NetApp filers (not the NetCache boxes). According to the PDF doc at the link below, NetApp has partnered with Trend and Symantec to provide these solutions, but I haven't found anything on Trend's site about it yet. Any ideas?

Hello fellow filer fans, Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been running a beta

of

the Trend Virus Wall for NetApp (Data ONTAP 6.1) for a few weeks now and

it

seems to be working fine so far. It runs on a separate server and scans each file coming and going. I'm not sure when it is to be released to the public, but if you have any questions about how it's set up or what kind

of

problems we have run in to (none so far), feel free to contact me.
