- Is anyone using RAID (disks) on an SGI (or any other machine,
- actually)?
-
- If so, I would be interested in posing a few questions such
- as what application you are using, the performance gains you
- are experiencing and the extent of your software modifications
- to achieve this performance gain.
-
- If you are accessing data on RAID via a network file service
- (presumably NFS), what is your network media and how much of
- a performance hit did you take going via NFS?
-
- If any SGI folks and get me any info, I would be very interested.
- We are seriously considering using RAID on an SGI 440. My sales
- person is in training for the next few days; still...
-
- Thanks. Please respond by email.
