A few brief questions - toasters

4 Aug 2000


      I'm doing some information gathering on NAS and would appreciate it if
anyone could take the time to answer these few, very brief questions:
1.  Approximately what percentage of your production data is actually used
for cross-platform file sharing?
2.  Please rank the following reasons for using NAS in terms of their order
of importance to you (with "1" being the Most important; "3" the least
important)
    a.  Cross-platform file sharing	b.  Ease of use		c.  Cost
3.  What concerns, if any, do you have about your Network Attached Storage?
4.  Are you currently considering deploying SANs for your storage
requirements?  If so, can you estimate when you might deploy a SAN?
Thanks very much for your consideration.
