Why each option
To proactively manage disk space on a new SAN, implementing hard limits on storage usage directly prevents users or applications from exceeding allocated capacities.
Configuring hard limits, such as quotas, on the new SAN directly addresses the problem of running out of disk space by preventing users or applications from consuming excessive storage beyond their allocated amounts. This is a proactive technical solution to manage capacity on the new infrastructure.
Increasing space on the old SAN does not address the problem on the *new* SAN and is a temporary fix for the old system, not a proactive solution for the new infrastructure.
Sending an email asking users to delete files is a reactive and non-enforceable measure that does not implement a technical solution on the new SAN to prevent future space exhaustion.
Creating a policy is a good organizational measure but does not, by itself, technically enforce storage limits or prevent users from consuming excessive space on the new SAN without an accompanying technical enforcement mechanism.
