Veritas CFS Media Server Workloads: Best Practices

i'm fully agree with you on the future of the NBU Appliance.
CommVault have created a Storage Grid deduplicated solution, and i think that's a good idea.
With CFS/CVM, the CR partitioning capabilities (MSDP 96TB or MSDP Appliance), the new refDB, auto repair, ... I suppose that Veritas have a lot of arguments to create a new vision of Storage Pool. Not a PureDisk with a multiple CR, but a real Grid solution (independant node but agregated, lost node capacibilties, auto-repaire node, ... the best coffe of the world, and more if possible :))
