Tape Library</em><br /><br />EMC = <em>Evil Machine Company</em><br />EMC = <em>Extra Mirroring Company</em><br />EMC DMX = <em>Don't Mind (the) eXtra cost...</em><br /><br />HDS = <em>Horrible Disk Solutions</em><br />HDS FlashCopy = <em>HDS FlashCrappy</em><br />HDS TrueCopy = <em>HDS TrueCoffee</em><br /><br />NetApp = <em>NetCrap</em><br />NetApp SnapVault = <em>NetApp SnapFault</em>. You can use this in backup team meetings, for example: <em>"I didn't stop any backups! It's all his SnapFault!"</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4974271561453466348-6916684070317359132?l=stupidstorage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StupidStorage/~4/gaqqJT8BUJI" height="1" width="1"/>Eyal Traitelnoreply@blogger.com1http://stupidstorage.blogspot.com/2006/09/stupidstorage-vendors-and-products.html
