Forget it!

I don't see why? A major update? Where is command line, webgui for setting users rights (ACL? your kidding...) and many other.
Yes, v6 give us a change in webgui, but I don't see (maybe just for me) a major improvment.
DSS is more like a NAS for newbie with a nice gui.

And for your bussines I think it was right to offer free upgrade for those who bought (like me) a product close to a "major" update!. Or simply warn us! I could wait, quietly...
I'm very dissapointed.
Mihai I don’t think that is a far statement what you say. I have seen the posts that Todd has provided for all to test and the date when they where to release this. Did you test V6, we did on 2 Intel boxes and we had no problem with ADS and the ACL’s - they even have this in the GUI and in the manual for they use POSIX as stated in the manual – RTFM “Read the fr#$@ manual”.

We see what EMC, NetApp and others do that don’t warn us or give us a break in pricing, and let’s not forget what Mr. Microsoft will do to you as well.

If DSS is going to have like what Todd said for 16TB replications for volumes – then wow that is worth it!!

Do you know what the cost is for support for Openfiler for 16TB!! $1,800 in Euros PER NODE – meaning one system not 2!! Here is more good news for you that this is a yearly charge!! Wow now you pay more!! So we pay no support for DSS and it is a onetime charge for that version and the upgrade can’t be much more then the support cost. Not trying to kill you mihai but my god man when you look at what the costs are for the other competitors to what they are offering here it just sounds like a bunch of new engineers that just started in the industry.
We will be upgrading our DSS V5 to V6 ASAP!
Todd – Do you know what the cost is and when this will be available?
