Thierry, Looking thru the eyes of a Unix Admin, the benefit of using symantec products will be familiarity with those products. However, if the definition of benefit is extended to IO performance gains, then, IO related benchmarks should be conducted and choice made on the results. There are a few other non technical considerations that I can think of, however, the ones mentioned above come to the forefront.
