I need to get a device that can store about 1000 students information (NAS) with the required permission, and grant at least most of them concurrent access. The solution has to be relatively inexpensive (£1000 - £1500), and about 2TB min, and can integrate into AD simlessly. I have looked at the netgear ReadyNAs (Supports about 32000 users, but only 20 concurrent users allowed), same with LaCie. I might prefer one of those solutions with Windows 2003 Storage server pre-installed.
