Hello Admin,

        We consider to purchase a storage to increase
        disk capacity and performance on our unix
        environment, i.e Solaris and Redhat Linux.

        We have three options:
        1) NAS - Netapp 810
        2) NAS - EMC IP4700
        3) Direct-attached - Sun 280R + EMC FC4700

        My question is,
        1) Is NAS storage suitable for Pure UNIX
           environment
        2) Can NAS storage have any issue for
           a) Symbolic link
           b) ufsdump and ufsrestore
        3) Netapp 810 Vs EMC IP4700
        4) NAS Vs Direct-attached
        5) Any other issue I need to consider

Best regards,
K.W.
