Re: HELP: SQL databases on Network Appliance filers (Oracle and/or Microsoft)

Carl,

I've been looking into buying a NetApp filer for a second site and have been putting many hours into talking with Oracle users who run it in production.

I was also asking them the same question about an NFS type filesystem. Everyone said thier seek access improved by using the NetApp filer since the filesystems reside on the filer and the the OS.

If you want, I can ask my Netapp Rep to provide you with some Oracle sites running it.
