NFS Maildirs

That plan is maybe to get rid of a locally attached RAID on the
mailboxserver and to use a network attached storage (which already
exists, the actual product name is not known to me - but I'll find out).

1. Does any network storage platform come to mind as being
   particularly fast (in terms of "postfix needs to write mails to
   maildir, while clients hammer away using POP3 and IMAP) while being
   reasonably economical?

   We have an average of 13.000 Logins/h -- POP/IMAP

   Note that the network storage is not exclusively used by us only,
   but is being shared.

2. Will any NFS solution scale? If not, what alternative is there?
