A while back our primary vendor (EMC) provided us with a "free NS40" to play around with. Until now its been collecting dust back in the corner of our data center but I believe soon we'll be asked to fire it up and give it a shakedown.
Currently we have 7 SAN attached file servers that utilize DFS with a total of 20TB. I've never played around with a NAS or its unique features. I'm curious if those that have them think they are truly superior or not.
When focusing on BCP/DR what perks does a NAS provide? Is TSM a fire and forget install? I'm looking for any kind of feedback at all. An example would be the suggestion of a specific test or comparison I should run.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
