We have a similar need, and have not yet found the definitive answer. I am looking at a product called CyberLAB that is a software product that can move data to/from any hardware. We may combine this software with a hardware solution that is not yet determined to provide near line access.

I was wondering if anyone is aware of or using any type of Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) with their filers.
We have been throwing and throwing disk space at the users and the (of course) continue to 'gobble' it up at a tremendous pace. We would like some sort of system that ages inactive files and moves them off to 'near-line' storage.
We had a meeting with our Veritas reps today and they had nothing. In fact they spent most of the meeting blasting NetApp.
In your responses please do not talk about quotas and all that good stuff. The current thought process is to allow 'unlimited storage' ... we just need to manage it through HSM.
Thanks in advance for your help.
