QUESTION POSED ON: 04 November 2004
Is the Clariion CX700 is able to reach the same performance as a Symmetrix 8830? Each has the same number of Fibre Channel ports, but there are other differences: the CX has 8*2 Gbps, while the 8830 has 8*1 Gbps; the CX has 8 GB cache, while the 8830 has 16 GB cache; the CX has 73 GB/15 K disks, while the 8830 has 73 GB /10 K disks.
I know Symmetrix is for enterprise use, and Clariion for the midrange, and that 8830 was developed in 2000, and CX in 2003. I wonder what your opinion is of these two products in comparison with one another.
