IBM used me as an example case for this a decade ago. One of the biggest controllers of my own data that there is out there.

So IBM collected real stuff or fake stuff?

IBM used me as the case of the person generating the most controlled content so that algorithms know me only by how I want them to know me.

After some great advice from you folks, we are going to be very disciplined about the fact that you don't just throw something like this into production. A lot of planning hours will go into it. (HP c7000 enclosure with a couple servers and flexconnect gear). Thanks all!

Thanks for the info! I'll surely look this up during our next refresh.

With cloud guys like Amazon offering their own WAN gateways (BTW, MSFT did virtual StorSimple recently) I don't see much of the future in WAN gateways and WAN accelerators. Seems to be built-in functionality of a hypervisor, backup, and could. IMHO.
