Besides asking what applications, how much data storage etc what other tips ? Is there like a standard form or questionnaire that one would fill out and it would spit out something like "Based on your input the model you require is a fas2040 with 4TB of usable disk".</P><P>That would be a cool configurator huh? Does anything like that exist ? <SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="happy" __jive_macro_name="emoticon" class="jive_macro jive_emote" src="https://community.netapp.com/4.0.8/images/emoticons/happy.gif"></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:59:08 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Proper-San-Sizing/m-p/68755#M6547 peter1965 2025-06-05T06:59:08Z Re: Proper San Sizing https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Proper-San-Sizing/m-p/68759#M6549 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I will assume "no"?.
