Scalable Mail solution with NAS

You might want to check out CriticalPath.  We are in the process of
designing a mail system using an EMC Clariion and CriticalPath's software
suite.  Sounds like a similar setup.

Subject: Scalable Mail solution with NAS

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?
