| ....if you're running a Windows server there's a cost involved with this
| type of storage, as each user is required to have a Client Access Licence
| to connect to shares on the file server.
|
| One way of avoiding licensing costs is to use Linux servers running
| Samba ? an application that uses the same Server Message Block (SMB)
| protocol as a Windows server but, because it?s open source, doesn't need
| any client licences.

| Most will be Linux-based, which means there are no client licensing
| issues, though appliances running Windows Storage Server 2003 are
| available. Deployment is much the same, regardless of size or format.
