Thanks Gary, Mike for inputs...
While reasearching more I found some material on NetApp Storage Solutions for Windchill. It looks intereseting that NetApp deduplication technology is another core Data ONTAP feature that helps dramatically improve storage use by eliminating duplicate copies of files on primary or secondary storage systems without hindering any user’s access to the file. Because Windchill file vaults store the design files, which may share some commonality, and because deduplication is done at the block level, this can dramatically reduce the data footprint of the PTC file vault repository.
I think instead of buying Windchill archive, I can invest it in NetApp Storage System. Any thoughts on this?
Is there any customer using NetApp Storage system?
