NetCache equivalents

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hello All,

We are looking at acquiring NetCache (by NetApp). However, looking at
the cost, it is amazingly high.
Aren't there CHEAPER ways of achieving what Netcache does? Or is it
simply the "best thing that happened since sliced bread"?
At figures over US$ 20K, I am wondering if this is what every 'serious'
organization uses, or if I have other alternatives.

Thanks in advance for any input - and make it simple, OK? ;-)
