Title: NAS Appliance
Post by: dilligaf on February 07, 2009, 06:47:49 PM

We are looking to enhance our smeserver with an NAS appliance.
Need good availability, and approx 10tb storeage.
Have looked at HP Storeageworks, and IBM offerings, all quite expensive.
Looking for any info/success story you may be able to share,
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, are you using this yourself?
It looks like it might work.

We've looked at it, but not for use with SME though. Couldn't use advanced security settings (cifs) on shared files and folders so we've not investigated any further.
