This might be useful for me here. essentially, our NAS system is only at about 25%, but our backup server is the one that I need to keep an eye on. However, now that we are now owned by a cloud company (eg. IBM) maybe we will migrate to the cloud :-)

And a few more:

multi-platform GUI-based:
jDiskReport for a java-based disk analyzer.

I've also written my own tool for doing this (single Python script):

This had the advantage of being runnable from a cron job and the
results were always available to me (incl clickable HTML and pie
charts).  It has the disadvantage of (potentially) creating O(N)
additional small files, one per directory, if you choose to persist the
disk usage summaries.  A sqlite (or similar) version would be a nice
improvement!  Anyway, it accumulated disk usage by user and group, and
kept a list of big files.  These were (and are) things that are
relevant to me with a multi-TB multi-user system.

And while we're on the topic, but for OS X:
Disk Inventory X for OS X
