Hi
Im wondering whats the `industry standard` nowdays for home area storage / departmental shares etc?
Currently we have clustered file servers attached to SAN, which then gets mapped to client h: drives. Quota's etc are managed through windows, all very standard.
Is this still the best and easiest way for handling shares or do people nowadays use a NAS head on their arrays and point client desktops straight to the appliance (hencing removing the file servers and all the time and effort put into managing them)
Im still confident in the proven file server method (although now virtualised etc) but the new guy wants to scrap them and use NAS for everything.
Cheers
