Did anybody use Auspex NFS servers in the late 1990's? My first job in 1997 was all Sun / SPARC based (semiconductor design) and we had a bunch of Auspex file servers. It looks like they went under in 2003 and NetApp became the dominant company.

Guy Harris worked at Sun from 1985 - 1988, then on NFS at Auspex from 1988 - 1994, then he worked at NetApp from 1994 - 2003. After that he worked at Apple, now he's been hacking Wireshark for more than 23 years, since 1998!

We got a lot of value out of ours in an academic research context but switched around 2002 when they just couldn't manage to be price-competitive. We ended up with Spinnaker, Isilon, and NetApp boxes which were all Linux-based, although with some custom extensions (if memory serves, we found a bunch of correctness issues running fsx against Isilon because their filesystem implementation wasn't as robust as the stock Linux filesystems).
