Scott (and others),

I apologize, all I was given regarding this document was a hard copy and based on confidentiality footers, I'm don't think I'm allowed to distribute it. However, if you're on an EMC system now, I'd call or e-mail your EMC rep and ask for it. If it works as well as described, it will only make them look better.

I'm pretty sure I only recieved a hard copy (I'm not in the office to check), but they publish a lot of pdf documents on their site. I'll see if I can locate it there and send a URL.

Darrell,

Could I have a copy of that white paper if you still have it?

Thanks,
Scott
