And Back To Reality…

A lot of my spare time recently has been eaten up by something that I can’t blog about but is very cool but non-storage or even work related but it’s sadly come to an end, so I guess I’ll have some more spare time again.

I thought I’d make a quick mention of the Celerra/OS X Lion issue; this is not the first time that OS X has caused an issue with a commercial NAS. The last time was with OnTap where a case change on a file-name would cause a file to disappear and cause data-loss.

If Apple are going to make more in-roads into the Enterprise Desktop space and with the current ‘Bring Your Own Device’ meme seeming to make some headway; all of the Enterprise vendors are going to have to be more aware of OS X and make sure that their test suites cover OS X cases adequately.

Apple users are some of the most unforgiving and impatient users that I have ever had to support; they generally expect everything to work and do not show the tolerance of long-suffering Windows users.

Apple have done a great job in convincing them that IT should just work and they believe it! They (Apple users)  sometimes do have short memories and forget Apple’s screw-ups but they never forget a non-Apple issue.

  1. I presume you referring to this? I love the headline “Lion breath!” Sounds worse than morning breath.
