For those things where VMS works well, of course. Or where
VMS is already in use. Thaht is where my customers are.

And you, as usualy, twist things in your way. What is
"data storage" more specificaly? At my custumers sites
we use either a HP SAN or in the other case an IBM SAN
for "data storage". How much VMS is that?

And finaly, there is a huge difference between "data" that
originates from VMS applications from the begining and on the
other side "foreign" data from digital cameras or whatever.

Using VMS as a NAS (though Advanced Server, Samba or similar)
died many years ago. That is nothing new.

Yes, I *do* know that you are only trolling, but anyway.
You know far better then your questions imply, right?
