Re: Xsan 3.0 is coming

[Devin Crane] "Is it going to be "Awesome"?"

I'd say it already is awesome. Arguably the most advanced and highest performing clustered filesystem on the market (StorNext) is included for free with $29 Lion and will be even cheaper in $19 Mountain Lion. Yeah, there's all the complexity that goes along with actually using it, but for as much as everyone whines about how Apple is dumbing everything down, you'd think we would appreciate this one aspect of their products that is decidedly very, very PRO.

I realize Xsan has fallen out of favor with the video world, but that is only because the video world no longer needs Xsan's capabilities to share storage. Ethernet is enough now. That doesn't make Xsan any less impressive or awesome a thing.

Best,
