Scale with Increased Capacity

If you have a single, giant document storage need I really like Exablox for offloading that. Triple mirroring and change block tracking with immutable history so ransomware can't touch your files.
It's documents that are part of an old EHR system - something we have to keep around for a minimum of 7 years after it's last use, which was over 2 years ago.. 5 years and counting.
I could probably move the actual storage to a NAS and map it into the IIS session... this is where tiered storage would be awesome, alas I don't have it right now.

Only the rich can afford not to tier storage

What is holding it now that is not a NAS?

It started life on a bare metal 2003 R2 server in late 2007. Lived there until last year, when with the help of a friend who used to work for the now gobbled and displaced EHR company, he helped me migrate the entire thing to a Windows 2012 R2 VM. This VM is 750 GB total storage assigned, using around 640 GB. It's not growing anymore, pretty sure it's thin provisioned (it is, but it's expanded itself out to 716 GB).
This VM host has 1.1 TB of RAID 10 (8 drives 10K 300 GB).
