Select a Storage Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Every business has unique needs when it comes to storage. Smaller offices and studios may be fine with a basic network-attached storage system for backups and file sharing, while larger teams and enterprise customers could require a whole rack full of data servers and accompanying network gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puget Systems has partnered with Synology to provide our users with several desk-side NAS systems<\/a>. We also put together a guide to help you select the right type of NAS<\/a>, spec it out with appropriate drives and networking, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For rackmount storage systems, we have an even wider range of configurations. There a few options from Synology<\/a> for organizations with limited needs, and for more expansive storage solutions we have partnered with OSNEXUS to offer their software-defined storage management platform QuantaStor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the numerous choices available and the complexity of properly sizing and configuring a storage server, we recommend working with one of our no-pressure technology consultants<\/a> to ensure that you get the best solution for your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage Configuration Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to be an expert to buy a storage server, but if you want <\/em>to learn about how they work and what goes into customizing one for a specific workflow we are happy to share our approach! We can provide as much detail as you’d like during a consultation, but here are three of the major factors we consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Drive<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n

Capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Storage is an investment, so it is important to consider your immediate needs and look to the future<\/strong> to estimate how much more capacity you may need over the coming years. This will give you the usable capacity you want to aim for. Working backward from there, taking into account drive space lost to redundancy, you can determine the raw capacity you need.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Redundancy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Data loss can be devastating, especially if you are responsible for your client’s data. Thankfully, modern approaches to redundancy give us several tools to protect information<\/strong>! Simple mirroring is ideal when only working with two drives. More complex parity configurations work well for larger arrays and can be combined with striping to improve speed as well.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Network<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n

Networking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is critical to make sure your storage server can talk to the rest of the network it is on<\/strong>, and ideally at the maximum speed that network can support. This means installing a network adapter in the storage system that matches the type of infrastructure you have in place – while also considering any near-term upgrades your IT team may have planned.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
