Storage help & advice

[Underdog85]

Hi,

I work for a moderately sized business in a design department dealing with approx 4000 images every 3 months and a increasing project file folders.

We currently use a Sinology DSJ212 with 4TB+4TB of storage in a raid configuration but are running out of space fast.

What is everyone using within their department or company?

Any help would be appreciated.

are you using an in-house stack for this or outsourcing ?

 

[Underdog85]

By in-house stack do you mean rack storage?

 

[Simon Rayson]

you could look at amazon web services https://aws.amazon.com/s3/?nc2=h_m1

 

[Simon Rayson]

yes your own rack

other options for in house could be http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/produc...erbolt-2-hard-drive-storage-solution?fnode=5f

We have that option but we ideally want a standalone was which can read & write information from multiple users.

I am assuming you are on Apple macs and you want remote users, having a server running RAID using one of the large scale NAS would be your best option.
you can then add additional drives as you grow.

Yes however remote access wouldn't be necessary and we only operate from HQ. What I would be interested to hear is what NAS solutions design houses are using to meet their needs...
