We have used them for supplemental storage on our test/development system
(Compaq Tru64, Oracle 8.1.6). The limitation seems to be the NFS connection
(and we have a dedicated card and connection) is slower than your
"conventional" or "real" disks. For some tasks this isn't a problem, but it
is easy to start several large tasks that saturate the NFS connection. For
example, when I have to build several large indexes, I copy the underlying
tables to the "real" disk, and build the indexes one at a time. I won't deny
that I may be overreacting to some problems. Other than that, it seems to
work fine for our test/development system where it generally receives
sporadic and light use. I am told that it cost much less than conventional
disks.

Charlie,
My company has been using Network Appliances for quite a while now. Early on we had some problems where the net apps would just seem to go away for a second or two, causing a "Resource Temporarily Unavailable" error message. This would usually crash one or more databases. After much complaining and convincing that this wasn't a database issue, the network guys applied a patch to the Network Appliances and we haven't seen the error since...

I've been asked to review Power Point marketing presentation and a "white paper" both publishd by Network Appliance.
I'd like to hear off list from anyone who has had some hands on experience with this technology.
TIA & HAND!
