Dear All,

Our company has desided to allocate 2 GB of disk space (Presently) for employes. We have 500 employees. They prefer a NAS solution.
In future it will expand to 10 GB per user. The enviorenment is Win2k/3 and Linux servers.

As I am new to NAS, Pls help me to deside a HP product for this requirement.

Q1 : What's the best product to utilize ..?

I would suggest the HP ProLiant DL380 G4 Storage Server - will do the job at the moment & offers good flexibilty for a future (e.g. more storage, iSCSI option for block level data, etc.)

You can start with this box: 1.2TB SCSI Model [AE450A]
