RE: MS Exchange on Netapps - toasters

19 Mar 2001

      My thoughts are that any article that refers to gigabit Ethernet as an
"emerging technology" is highly suspect.
I wonder if Microsoft is trying to insinuate that Oracle databases (which
can run over NAS) are less "robust" and "high-performance" than their
jet-based exchange DB, which allegedly can't.
Having said that, I probably wouldn't put my Exchange DBs on a filer.  Too
much risk of something going wrong and MS saying "Sorry, we told you not to.
You're on your own."

Any thoughts on this from anyone one... why is NetApps saying they are
working with MS on this issue? doesn't sound like it from this KB article...
