Our Netapps is on the backend of our server farm and has been up for over 1.5 years without a problem or hiccup. Very reliable piece of equipment. For our other machines, like our sql server, we use a SCSI-SCSI controller. We use Artecon and Mylex on various servers, both have been fine as well. > -- > > > Micheal O Shea Email:micheal@com4u.ch > com4u.ch http://www.com4u.ch > Breitistrasse 7B PGP key available upon request. > CH-5506 Maegenwil Tel: +41 62 896 46 26 > Switzerland > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com CalWeb Internet Services Inc.
