have you had success with this approach? I'm pretty sure vendors would have laughed at us if we asked for it, though for something small (few TB, <100 clients, etc), I'm sure it would work. then again, anyone could do that sort of small project on a weekend. if you have hundreds of clients,
expensive (non-Gb) interconnect, multiple racks, power,cooling,floor needs, I don't think you'll get a lot of people offering to do full demos for you. in short, if you do this, aren't you effectively pre-selecting high-margin vendors? _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
