Currently we are using MS SQL 2005. And we have databases. Our problem is what if time has arrived that the disk space is already low? How can we support the need of the database for the disk space? Is there any ways to be done?

You should have monitoring tools in place to track disk space and alert the DBAs and perhaps server admins when free space isn't within your defined thresholds.
