QUESTION POSED ON: 17 February 2004
How easy/difficult will the gateways be to manage

The storage resource (the block I/O device) will be managed as any storage device in the SAN. The gateway will be administered like a typical NAS device with the LUNs provided appearing to be captive storage. It should be nearly as simple as any NAS device.
