Distributed, fault tolerant storage. Expensive. Won't let you down. EMC units can call the engineer before the fault exhibits itself to you. Production systems run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. NAS = Network Attached Storage. Hundreds of gigabytes upwards. Cheap'n'cheerful by comparison, often in user-friendly plug'n'play format. Appears on the network as, say, a Windows computer with a shared directory. Much less fault tolerant. RAID 5 if you pay for it. You're the administrator and engineer for it. Costs start in the low thousands of dollars for a couple of hundred gigabytes.

Not for our application. - (mmoffitt) - (5) - May 4, 2005, 03:16:16 PM EDT

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar - a real dive. But I knew the owner; he used to play for the Dolphins. I said, "HI GILL!" (You have to yell; he's hard of herring...)
