Well I've perused the list of newsgroups and this one seems to match
the best to my query:

I've got less than 24 hours to get some information together on possible
candidate technology (ie. "solutions") in the way of LARGE file servers.

Any experiences out there?

Do any of the vendors in this area include support for Apple's AFP and
the like? A flexible NFS is a must but we're gonna have to go much
further than that.

Anyone willing to share their experiences with AUSPEX, EPOCH, or similar
hardware/software is most welcome to reply :-) ...

Vendors are also welcome to reply, directly to me of course.

Oh, I need some numbers in the way of $$$ as well if possible.

Thanks.

For really large file servers, you might want to talke to Distributed
Computing Solutions (DISCOS), P.O. Box 85608, San Diego, CA 92186-9784
(619) 455-3755.  Their UniTree product can handle very large amounts of data
and has reasonable interfaces.

This is my own opinion.  Not that of my employer.
