EMC^2 Appliances... 

Lasst year, i got some old EMC^2 Cellera (super-low-end version) 1U Rackmount and played around with it for a little; it was quite interesting to find the $$$$$ NAS Appliance had PCI DMA Busmastering disabled in its bios...

front-end NAS with back end baby Symm ?

And precisely why would I buy this instead of the NS40 ?

Blue face, because this is how you feel after buying EMC NAS.

On the Data Mover or the Control Station? The control station is just a random Linux box, I/O doesn't go through it.

The interesting low end Celerra will be the one with a single box, with the control station and data movers in VMs. No idea what the Celerra SE has to do with this...
