My company is in the process of evaluating several mail solutions, scalable
to 150k to 200k mailboxes.  One thing we'd like to do is run the message
store over Gig-E on network attached storage.  Two of the vendors we've been
looking at claim performance issues running this solution over NFS.  Does
anyone know of a carrier-class mail solution that will run well on NAS?
