Storage vendor bloggers - losing data or losing the plot?
Comment Store data in EMC Centera and lose it - that's the claim of NetApp blogger Val Bercovici, and he cites a Symantec support document entitled 'Archiving items in Enterprise Vault may result in an extremely rare data loss situation' to prove it.
Bercovici, who works in the office of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) at NetApp, blogged last week: "When Symantec publicly declares that EMC Centera (and only EMC Centera) is vulnerable to data loss, the entire industry - and most importantly archiving customers need to stand up and listen."
Indeed it should - except Bercovici was wrong. He was misled by a Symantec support document (tech-note) referring to its - Enterprise Vault product - which has now been updated.
The original version, up to January 26, stated there would be: "Potential data loss if archiving to Centera and running any of the known affected Enterprise Vault versions outlined below (see the What is Affected section)."
