Well, he has not only brainwashed, but completely lobotomized.

He is in a power trip of buying a $500,000 Solaris server, without using his existing resources.

We bought a Dell server with 4 Xeon 2 Ghz processors, 8GB RAM, and EMC Clariion CX600 Fibre-Channel storage unit.

And he says that this is a temporary unit

He wants to torpedo the success of it by removing the CX600 and going with 5 new SCSI internal drives, and to top it all off, using a RAID 5 , for databases.

We are all baffled at work.

Tomorrow is a big meeting, and hopefully we can get things back on track.
