Thanks for the nice words. StorageX and VFM are functionally identical. One is sold by Netapp (VFM) and the other by NuView.
NFS support was added in version 5.5.
Thanks, Louis

You may also like to know that VFM (Virtual File Manager) from NetApp is a cut down version of StorageX from Nuview.
I have had StorageX in and running on Eval - and to be honest, if I had enough budget (Well a budget of greater than zero) to play with would have gone with it for the Global Name Space virtualisation within the windows environment we were running.
The only short coming it had at the time was no NFS. I was told that this was on the roadmap - not sure if it is here yet ?

We are currently evaluating NuView and Rainfinity for their ability to use a global name space through use of AD and DFS. We have the need to virtualize shares from 1 server to multiple filers. NuView seems to be the ticket, however Rainfinity seems to be fairly similar. Any positive or negative feedback would be appreciated. Drew

Yep, they're identical. NetApp actually sends their SE's to VFM training at NuView (where the training is done on StorageX).
