I am fine with public discussion, so here is where I am starting from. Currently we have multiple sites, each with at least one file server. Each file server is home for user profiles and a large number of shares. Users share documents across sites and across VPN from these shares. Obviously it is a nightmare with locked files, deleted files, permissions, and bandwidth. Bandwidth is 45mpbs Internet (VPN) and sites range from 12mpbs to 6mpbs (MPLS).
My Exchange store is nearing 300GB. My goal as stated before it to eliminate Outlook as file transport and also make it easier for users to share files from their pages. What I need to understand better is where the files will be stored in SP and if it would make sense to have only one main SP server (probably a cluster). At this point, it seems one would be the best option with a large storage array. I would like to hear about implementations some of you have running now and how you might do it differently, or if you are happy with how it is working as you designed. Thanks to all!

It will make a difference with the design and what you can do later.
