Now Permabit is pushing itself as a better "total cost of ownership" alternative than EMC, thanks to lower prices and the use of NFS and Windows-based Common Internet File System (CIFS) interfaces.

Still, Permabits use of NFS doesnt remove interoperability issues completely.
Theyre relying more on NFS, and its not as onerous as APIs, Villars says, "but they still have to do some work with application vendors."
