Yesterday I traveled to Philadelphia to visit the AIIM show, I saw the folks from EMC, Sony, NetApp, IBM and HDS. The showfloor was not very well attended and so I got a chance too talk to the folks manning the booths when they were not just talking to each other. Neither the IBM folks nor the NetApp folks I spoke to knew anything much about the new IBM & NetApp Alliance. I guess it takes a while for reality and the press releases to merge.

After I came back from the show I spoke to a customer about some transferable licensed NetApp F840’s with Cluster and NFS licenses. It seems that NetApp was offering him a price of over $120,000 for a clustered pair of FAS 270C’s. I told him to go to SPEC.org and check out the performance of the FAS 270 before buying one.
