The University of California Santa Cruz is evaluating Windows-NT as a platform for providing file space to students, faculty and staff. UCSC has a strong unix infrastructure at present that must be integrated with any new OS that might be centrally supported. Our evaluation to date has been less than satisfactory. Our primary concerns are:

Scalability (flat-file name/machine space)
Bandwidth usage (too much broadcasting)
Open (it's not)
Cost (how much do we have to buy to have a workable NT-WAN structure?)
