We are a small venture capital based biotech firm. You would be amazed at the number of files we have on the server and in e-mail. People routinely send large PowerPoint shows and then they end up on the server and on the exchange users sent box. I really don't want to get into numbers but I was amazed at what I found this week. And we have large storage needs. We have instrumentation that can generate 5 gigs of data a day. Users simply want to save everything and always have it live.
