Hi,
We have been for many "long" years, a trusted customer and consumer of NetApp Products and one thing that has ALWAYS lacked in terms of support and tools is a good sizing tool.
I have known for a longtime the existence of NetApp Synergy which has within it's tool set an extremely useful sizing tool for Aggr/RG/Vol etc.
I have never understood why NetApp has restricted access to this tool, even though it's publicly available for download.
This tool or a cut down version has been called for for a long time by users of these communities and across the public domain.
Our Millions spent on NetApp kit and services, aught to be recognized through making available this tool so we can size our filers efficiently and effectively. I realize that perhaps NetApp may not wish to for their tool to be available to competitors, but most of their competitors make these types of tools available to end users.
My question after my rant is, when are NetApp going to do this - Give us the tool so we can size correctly and more specifically, manage, maintain and protect the investment in our systems.
