a scalable, user-friendly file structure?

Hello,

I've been researching this topic for a while and i think i am missing something obvious and making this harder than it should be. Our org currently has a very large SHARED folder structure which is deep and organized mainly by department. Users know the structure and accept it. However we are now running into disk space limitations within the structure as a whole because certain users using specific directories are storing lots of data. I would like to point certain folders WITHIN the folder structure to new shares on different storage (reparse points?) so the disk limit is lifted BUT users maintain the same data layout. Most people say, "Just use DFS-N" but i don't this will work AND be scalable for a change at a later time when a new directory gets large and needs moved to new storage. Does anyone have any insight into user SHARED area design (these are word, excel, pdf, etc. type files).

THX> Eric
