On the following web site resides the research instrument for the NFS server research project. It is a simple form which should take 15 or 20 minutes to complete. It's kind of fun: you get to analyze different attributes of an NFS server and make trade-offs between them.
- Please forward this e-mail right away to anyone you know of who may be
interested in participating in the research project. 2. Please complete and submit the form on the web site below by Friday, April 11.

This study is being performed by MBA students at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management in order to analyze the market for NFS service in general and for specialized NFS server appliances in particular. The submission of the form is anonymous unless you choose to fill out the fields asking who you are.
Thank you for your participation!
