NetApp puts the pedal to the metal with Plexistor

Re: Recovery?

I think this would only be possible if they MAX Data layer takes care of snapshots. If you think about it, it's not very different from good old storage virtualization.

I'm also curious whether the MAX Data acutally tiers the data or acts as a read/write cache. I think the recent years have shown that tiering in primary storage systems isn't a smart way to implement newer and faster media.
