I’m completely flummoxed with Chris Mellor’s March 10 article in The Register stating that NetApp has had "difficulties" developing a scale-out NAS clustering product.
Ha! Ever heard of Data ONTAP GX?

Apparently Mr. Mellor forgets that Data ONTAP GX (10.0.4) has been shipping for a number of years now, scaling upwards of 14 PB (yes, petabytes) with 24 nodes, rated at over 1 million IOPS. He also forgets that GX powers several major motion pictures, chip designs, oil/gas simulations, seismic processing, etc.
How about a little more research next time, Chris?
