Secondly the fail-over limit of 4TB per target was very impractical in our environment.

Also we can scale the EMC up to a max. of aprox. 60TB without having any downtime whatsoever.

And I think it is far more reliable when it comes to fault tolerance.
Having done some testing with rebooting one of the two SPs or un-plugging up to three ethernet cables - it simply works like a charme.

We will use the open-E servers as file servers in the office from now on.
For the security we supplied a small update to turn off SMB for your system if there are more that need to be turned please send that in and we will address it as before.

In the next release of DSS V6 we will have support for multiple 16TB support volumes for replication and the auto failover And in the later future releases we will even grow to larger volumes.
