    The best thing about staying with an all IBM Shop is one call,
    theoretically, gets you help until the problem is solved.

    Having both EMC and IBM, I've found, finger pointing goes on and that is
    time consuming and frustrating.

    I don't think IBM plays ball nicely with anybody; for a good reasons.

    We are in the process of selecting our first SAN for our environment -
    approximately 10 AIX servers and 3 Windows servers. We've narrowed our
    choices down to either an IBM DS4300 Turbo (old FastT) or the EMC
    CLARiion
    CX500. For those of you who may have worked with either (or both) of
    these
    products, what is your overall opinion of the product? Would you buy
    that
    product again? Any positive or negative comments would be greatly
    appreciated. Thanks.
