RE: [PHP] load balancing with php/apache?

A NetApp (Network Appliance) is a big RAID that uses multiple scsi drives to create a single transparent volume which, with CIFS (transparent filesystem) can be used by any OS. They are v fast, use NVRAM buffering and can go up to post terabyte storage capacity without worries. Oh and they start at 60k pounds sterling But they are great.

What is NetApp? Network Appliance? Is this a cache technology, or will it help if I want to transfer 1GB of data with no duplication? Once upon a time I was considering using NFS for backing up my web servers. Then I found it would take over 150 hours per backup over my 56K Frame Relay link. I've got it down to about 46 hours with tar.gz and ftp. It takes most of my sleep time during the week.
