Sectors - NetApp says EMC Centera loses data, gets slapped by blogosphere
NetApp has tried to smear EMC, starting a blogosphere brawl which embroiled Symantec but may have left egg on its face.
“EMC Centera Customers - Consider Your Whistle Blown” is a pretty provocative title for a blog post. It gets better, though: the author is from NetApp and accuses EMC’s Centera archiving product of being a data-destroying dud. Evidence comes in the form of a Symantec support document. Symantec has since updated the document and softened its tone and NetApp itself seems to have backpedalled a little.
