Good question, I'm wondering the same thing; but more from a "pick up the mess afterwards" p.o.v. I discovered in the middle of a fairly large project that the Decision Had Been Made to go with emc's nas h/w. I know this isn't the toasters.emc.die.die.die list, but the info'd be useful.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic.

Anyone have any experience with an EMC NS 600 [I'm told it's a rather new EMC NAS solution]?

I have a client who is considering the NS 600 over a 940 Cluster ... and I don't think the EMC solution is the right one ... but without having any

first hand knowledge or having heard much about the NS 600 I can't provide any good arguments why they should avoid it... and I don't want to be called on to pick up the mess afterwards.

Any experience or advice [or even simply reasons why you didn't buy it] is much appreciated.

Cheers, RHCE, CCNP, CCDP, CNA,
