Egnyte and ReadyNAS
I was wondering if anyone has tested out the Egnyte software with the readynas as it appears to be the only out of the box NAS that will run their software. It looks quite promising http://egnyte.com ...

Thanks for the replay, I guess I missunderstoood a lot of the business usage features. Do you think in the future there is the possibility of an offer for power home uses that wants to look at offsite backup with their readynas - it would seem like a good fit.
As far as I can tell, Egnyte is designed to replace a SMB or SOHO file server. It incorporates some permission features that one would typically get using a DC and Sharepoint. It indirectly acts as backup by keeping a copy of your data in their cloud (and/or your Readynas).
I poked around Egnyte's solution a bit a couple months back, and while it looks good, there is still some quirkiness associated with the local vs. cloud based shares. Upload/download by users can be confusing. Maybe that will improve as the product matures.
