Microsoft is making it much easier to implement IP SANs on a Windows platform. If you can get a server up and running, you can easily set up an IP SAN.

We don't want to promise a lot of storage to our users out there, because they will find a use for it. There may have been a little bit of concern among these users initially that storage would run out, but we just tell them that we have enough storage to last six to seven months and that for x amount of dollars we can purchase more.

We can underestimate the amount of storage space we need and then always grow it.

We once had a server in a branch but we pulled it out. You have to keep things very simple at the branch level, as it's just not humanly possible to manage multiple branches individually.

An IP SAN is perfect for a company that has one person assigned to take care of backup and storage across two or three sites.
