I am having a hard time finding informative data on a good file server. My requirements are: 1. Scalable to 7TB 2. Speed of transfers 3. Windows/*nix/Mac compatible 4. Works flawlessly with AD 5. Total users = 5000
Current environment: 2000 AD native mode 90% XP, 7% Mac OS, 3% Solaris clients I like the thought of a NetApp file server, but i hear the cost is high. OS?? Server 2000, Server 2003, Samba on Solaris, some version of linux, or Mac OS X server? What advise can you give me on hardware? I am a Microsoft person, but when it comes down to it, I am for whatever the best solution is, and I dont want to make a costly mistake to both my reputation and the reputation of the IT deparment.
