NetApp AFF A200 Review
“Delivering phenomenal performance under a millisecond is one thing, but here’s the important part, NetApp is doing it with data reduction services turned on to get to that 4:1 capacity guarantee. Wherever the credit lies, the end-product is absolutely fantastic.”

Final 7-mode Data ONTAP Release
“Data ONTAP 8.2.5, the last 7-Mode release, is now available. This maintenance release does not include new features, but it does support new protocols (TLS 1.1 and 1.2) that allow customers to meet PCI-DSS compliance. It is important to update 7-Mode systems to 8.2.5 and stop using TLS 1.0 and SSLv3 to mitigate known protocol-level vulnerabilities.”
