[OT] Network Storage

I have not worked with the Dell's, but a word of warning on NAS
devices. Some struggle to integrate into your Windows network
environment. Sure they say they support SMB, but I have seen
different. The Dells use a Windows OS on their NAS devices so it
should integrate well. The other issue is backing up. If your
backup software requires a client to be loaded on the machine in
order to back it up (Arcserve), It may not be possible to load the
client. One other option is to add a SCSI attached Storage Unit to
an existing server. Little more expense, but it easily configured
through your existing window's server software, and has all it's own
hardware so it won't tax your server. Plus Scalability it better
with these units. Look at the Powervault 220. As little as three
drives depending on your Raid config or as many as 12.

I've noticed a few comments regarding difficulty creating payroll
reports, so I've written a program to allow much easier development.

From the program a payroll manager (or a developer given access by a
payroll manager) can launch Report Builder, design payroll reports,
then run them. No Progress programming required.

Every effort I can think of to keep security and provide ease of use
is incorporated.

If interested, contact me off-list.

Thanks,

Lonnie

I thought payroll records were unavailable to RB. How are you getting
around that?

We are considering purchasing a Dell Powervault 725n for approximately 400MB
of network storage. Does anyone have any pros or cons on these or other
types of storage. We would like to have something that is easily
configured, backed up and scalable.

Thanks in advance,

Michael
