Today, in the world of Server 2008, servers have VSRM reporting, flexible and granular soft/hard quotas, the ability to expand volumes, the ability to grow RAID containers (with the right RAID controller), the ability to participate in advanced 2003R2 style DFS replicas, and volume shadow copy to support the client's Previous Versions tab. 2008R2 will add BranchCache.
In light of all this, at what point can you successfully argue in favor of a NAS device? Is there a certain amount of TB's where servers become unreliable or untrustworthy? Is an enterprise NAS device really better than a clustered file server in front of SAN storage? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts...
