Re: Oracle on Network Appliance's Netapp Filer

I attended a similar presentation and agree that it is a rather impressive storage solution. We ran some informal tests and everything worked as advertised. To get some serious performance out of it, you'll need at least 100Mb ethernet, preferably Gigabit ethernet connecting the database server to the Filer. The tests we ran, we maxed out the 100Mb segment we were on before reaching the I/O capabilities of the Filer. The snapshot feature is particularly cool!
