Because it works at the device level, it needs to behave nicely when 
shared between multiple hosts.  You're playing with SCSI reservations, 
and if it doesn't handle them well you're going to be in a world of hurt.

We've got Decru appliances and they do work well - I've never worked 
with the NeoScale appliances.  In fact, the Decru appliances helped us 
find SCSI reservation problems in NetBackup - the appliance's logs 
reported when one host took out the reservation and then another host 
tried to write to the tape drive (which the Decrus correctly rejected).
