Focus of this article

A virtual file server can mean several totally different things:

  1. A traditional file server deployed on a virtualized platform.
  2. A single virtual server as far as the users sees that is implemented using multiple physical or virtual servers for redundancy or load balancing.
  3. A virtual file service provided through cloud computing.
  4. Accessing any type of file server across a VPN.
  5. A SAN.
  6. A NAS.

The current article tries to be all things and gets tied around its ankles in the process. We have separate articles on all these topics. What are we trying to accomplish here? I can't find a current industry standard definition of the exact term "virtual file server". This article started life as an ad for a specific product with this name. I'm not sure that it is salvageable. UncleDouggie (talk) 23:59, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
