Charlie:
Is there any way we can get some -real- faces on the F760s?
Seriously, my management was quite unhappy to see four non-matching purple plastic faces on our 760s after the sweet Stainless on the demo 630 we had *grin*

In response to Philip Thomas's question below:
Dell plans to resell some of NetApp's filers. The products will be offered under the Dell brand and therefore will have new bezels. They plan to use their own disk subsystem with the filers instead of NetApp's, but this doesn't change the function of the product at all. It's still "Network Attached." Dell will continue to offer their own server attached products as well.
All of NetApp's functionality, including Snapshot, should be available on the filers from Dell. Dell's focus for the filer product line is the Windows market and thus the CIFS protocol. We'll have to wait until they formally announce their products to see if they also offer the NFS protocol as an option.

Can NetApp provide some more details on this DELL <->NetApp announcement? http://www.dell.com/corporate/media/newsreleases/98/9811/04.htm http://www.netapp.com/news/level3b/news_rel_981104.html (a) Are they going to take say, a 740 stick Dell label on it and sell? (b) Is this going to replace Dell's disk subsystem? In which case the NetApp/disks are no longer a "network attached" system. Am I right? (c) Will this NetApp disk system from Dell loose any of NetApp's features, namely '.snapshot'.? (d) I would assume Dell system; no speak NFS??

The most consistent complaint that we've had about the 700 series is that the bezel isn't "cool" enough.
I've done some serious rabble rousing, and I've gotten a strong commitment that the bezel on our next high end system will be cool.

I suspect Dave still yearns for the studded leather, though I wouldn't put faux-leopardskin beyond him.

Polished aluminum, actually. It was really supposed to be chrome, but the story I heard was that chrome would have been *really* expensive.

A refrigerated bezel? :-)
I guess a refrigerated toaster wouldn't make much sense.
