NetApp’s Cosmic Failures<\/span><\/p>\n

A regular reader who recognizes that our team is very savvy about NetApp called me and asked if I knew about NetApp’s Cosmic Failures<\/span>. I thought he meant Cosmic Features.<\/span> But as I learned, he meant failures<\/span>. He said that he had been ‘Netapped’ recently and was really tired of their sales puffery and marketing hyperbole, his terms were much more colorful. I listened to his story and asked him if he could send me a link or something that referenced this ‘Cosmic Failure’ thing . He explained to me that he could, but I could just search the Searchstorage site and find the reference.<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the article and the paragraph that is so interesting .

Contacting NetApp about the problem, Campbell discovered that the company has a category of failures it refers to internally as “cosmic failures,” which are problems that it can’t, or won’t, fix. The failover detection fault the Salk Institute experienced was deemed a “cosmic failure,” and Campbell never heard from NetApp on the issue again.

Perhaps some of our readers , or some members of the <\/a>toasters.mathworks.com<\/a> group can provide us more detail on what these cosmic failures are and what causes them. I am certain that our readers would all appreciate the list of ‘NetApp Cosmic Failures’ and the workarounds that there are for them.<\/p>\n

You just can’t make this stuff up!<\/p>\n
