Only now getting checksums? After all this time?
Hi all, Dimitris from Nimble here.
Is it just me or is the addition of checksums in both VSAN 6.2 and the latest ScaleIO a bit glossed over?
Checksums are immensely important to storage - so important that nobody in their right mind should buy storage that doesn't do quite comprehensive detection and correction of insidious errors.
My sense of wonder stems from the fact that EMC and VMware have been happily selling ScaleIO and VSAN to customers without mentioning this gigantic omission up until now. And now it's quietly mentioned among many other things.
Interesting...
Thx
