Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Using NetApp Filers for a DWH
Just curious -- was the 10g using ASM or ASSM? I'm wondering what
statistically distributed data might do to precisely that test. Plus, Baarf.

I like the NetApp guys, etc. But it is really RAID-4 (no kidding), so perhaps that might explain one or two things? Just guessing...
