NAS box

Hi Managers,

I am sending this to group because have got only a couple of days to give a
solution.

Have any of you got a NAS system installed and using with Solaris ? Basically
I have a SAN box here attached to a Sun E 280 R, have VXFS file system and
serves as a file server. All user homes, projects and apps live here. Now we
get a lot of ftp data and other huge files which are not so critical. Such
files occupy the precious space in the SAN box. I want to put all these files
in another place - a cost effective storage box. Some of my peers suggested
NAS. Since I have no prior experience with a NAS box and also dont know anyone
using it with a Solaris network, I request you to chip in with your thoughts
and experiences.

My network consists of Solaris 8, NIS, VXFS and user homes, projects and
applications are all pushed to them through NIS maps.

Thanks in advance.
