        Hi Everyone,

        I am getting pressure from the system guys to use a Net Appliance filer for Oracle Applications databases. I currently have the Apps Release 11.0.3 production database on a Sun E4500, 4G RAM, 6CPU_at_400Mhz and a Sun storage array with a mix of 4 and 9G drives. The production datafiles are on Raid 0+1. The production software is mirrored only. Sequential files are not "raided". I have gone out to the Net Appliance web site and have download papers about how to implement Oracle on the filer. I would like to hear from real users rather than the vendor about how this works. Therefore I am curious to find out anyone's experience with this storage technology - good or bad. If anyone has any insights about the Net Appliance technology itself i.e. raid level, etc. that would be great too. We are also considering a new Sun direct attached storage solution. Thanks for your time.
