I use a Netapp 2050 cluster and i'm unhappy about the performance. I also use a Sun 7110 as NFS ESXi Storage. You can't compare it. The S7110 is about 7 to 10 times faster in MB/s and about 4 times faster in IOPS. My problem is, that I can't use the S7110 as CIFS Storage. We look for a better CIFS storage like Sun7420 or Netapp 3240, but I can't compare it. What I know is, Netapp every time uses less memory, old CPU, small CPU in their system. I prefer Sun, but I do not know how good CIFS work?

I urgently look for S7000 users with many CIFS users. Is the S7420 a good alternative for CIFS against Netapp filer?

Hi, I need to find a S7000 admin with more than 500 CIFS users. What is the experience with S7000 CIFS? Next week I must do a decision between S7420 and Netapp3240. Who can help? It's my first post, so I can't answer private!
