What Network Appliance products where available back in 1994?
What Network Appliance products where available back in 1994?
I mentioned the Gear6 solid state storage device and somebody said they were using comparable equipment back in 1994, an unspecified model of "Network Appliance", by which I take it they mean the products made by NetApp. I suspect they are way off base, and the net Network Appliance back in 1994 consisted of a number of hard drives with some ram for a cache. I'll guess the Network Appliance back then had 3 gigs or less of ram, and that the 1994 model Network Appliance was at least a hundred times slower than an Gear6, but that is all just guesses. |

I don;t know when the NetCache debuted but that may be to what they are referring. It was also called DNFS; distributed nfs. I know of several shops that used it and liked it. But time plods ever on and there were not very many advances in it's performance, though it was an incredible gain at the time. ~F |
