We're awaiting delivery of an EMC 3230 with 134 Gbytes configured.
Should be here this week and installed by next week.  I had planned to
post a message to the list after we had seen it run for a while.  I
plan to do some off-production testing and benchmarking, first, to make
sure all our utilities - particularly backup - work OK.

We wanted to go with a 3500, but it was too big for our elevators and
data center access doors and ramps.  :(   However, the 3230 will expand
to hold 402 Gbytes raw using 4 Gbyte devices (200 Gbytes mirrored) with
up to 16 FW-SCSI ports.  Should be enough to hold us for a time.     ;)

space.  Anybody out there own or looking at an EMC Symmetrix disk array?
