Our own customers do seem to require being shown at their own sites exactly how much their own particular applications will be speeded up, rather than relying on prior benchmark data.

If the vendor has composed the benchmark, that may well be true. There are, however, benchmarks devised by independent organizations unaffiliated with any vendor that can be employed to determine a base level of capability. >Our own customers do seem to require being shown at their own sites exactly >how much their own particular applications will be speeded up, rather >than relying on prior benchmark data. Agreed, but this sounds like an excuse for not releasing benchmark data. >Mike Willett >Storage Computer Corp. >11 Riverside Street >Nashua, NH 03062 >Tel. 603-880-3005 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ramon L.
