Single Instance Storage (SiS)

[SjrH]

Can anyone recommend a product for single instance storage without having to buy Storage Server and the hardware its embedded on?!

We have a 6TB FAS storage array served by a clustered server 2003 but have a lot of duplicate files.
We're approaching the 2 TB partition limit but could free up over 800 GB with SiS.

Microsoft won't sell Storage server without buying a NAS, which we don't need.

[small]have you turned it off and on again?[/small]

2 TB is not the limit of a filesystem if you use GPT (GUID partition tables ) partitions instead of MBR. A GPT disk is not bootable, but as it is a filesystem that serves for NAS, you don't need it to be bootable.You need at least SP1 on 2003 for this functionality
