Does anyone know if Windows Azure Pack is expected to offer the Storage service any time soon? I have a client who's very interested in the technology, but only if it has storage....

This is a product-specific roadmap question. – David Makogon Dec 14 '13 at 17:11

1You can develop you own extensions on azure pack, if thats something you would be willing to do: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn448721.aspx , for example you may use QNAP storage on in your datacenter and abstract its apis (http://www.qnap.com/dev/uk/p_api_sdk.php) using Azure Pack Extensions. It really depends on your situation/ if MS will implement this / ROI of dev investment. – Dhana Krishnasamy Jan 07 '14 at 17:57

I have already created my own "storage" library. With that said, out of the box storage is a big part of the generic Azure offering so it would be great if they added it... – Louis S. Berman Jan 08 '14 at 19:38

I have been tracking this thread for a long time, I have a good article about the feature in Azure Stack Preview release, https://azurestack.eu/2015/06/microsoft-azure-stack-storage-explained-part-i/
It is a good read on what to expect and how to prepare for the Azure Stack Storage. I am for one very excited about this feature as it will surely bring down the cost of maintaining tons of HA file servers for each team. Having a self service portal for secure HA file management on on-premise should put a smile on a lot of IT Admins!.
Hope the answer helps, Please take a look at the Article. It is not for the faint of heart as it is very deep and heavy :), but worth the pretty pictures.
Happy to help !, yours truly - CB
