| Hi group,
Just read the news that IBM will start reselling NetApp Filers under their
own label. Anyone got any thoughts on that??

Not really. When HDS and NetApp first hooked up I though that was the
end-all-be-all for me. Then one morning it hit me, "hey, this is a
partnership right? Remember the Sun/Veritas/Oracle partnership?"
So I never actually got a gfiler. The NetApps and the HDS are still
seperate.

| Only this, NetApp is still the most successful in the business for NAS.
IBM has actually been reselling through their professional services
groups netapp for a while. They have even been configuring things
like storage for exchange for years on netapp. It's just another
piece of fruit to carry in their basket when people ask them for a
solution to their data problems.
