If you have multiple computers with increasingly large amounts of digital media, then protecting that data is made simple with a home storage server.
A Storage Server (also known as a Network Attached Storage – NAS), put simply, is a piece of equipment that sits on your home network that gives you the ability to store and share data with other members of the household.
The growth of mobile phones, media players and downloadable media has resulted in very large amounts of irreplaceable data that is not always backed up. A simple mishap with your computer could end up with important files being lost forever.
We can supply and fit a Storage Server that meets your needs, from a simple network drive to a fully protected and redundant Storage Server. Contact us today for free advice on the best solutions for your needs.
The cost of the Storage Server you choose is based on the type of Storage Server (NAS) you require.
We supply and fit a range of Storage Servers. from off-the-shelf units that cost around £99 to custom built units that run well into the thousands, there are also many mid-range devices that offer excellent value for money. Contact us for free advice on the best solutions for your needs.
The main benefits are :
Sharing Files – share files between computers without the need for removable storage, such as USB memory sticks. You can easily share photos, music, movies and documents
Backups – this is one of the tasks most often critically overlooked in home computing. With a home network you can save copies of all of your important data on a different computer or Network Storage Server
Capacity – storage servers provide much greater capacity than the built-in or external storage on your laptop or PC. These servers are expandable and can be updated as higher capacity drives become available
Data Protection – mid to high end storage servers have multiple drives inside so if one them fails the other drives compensate to prevent data loss. The failed drive is then simply replaced, the system rebuilds itself and your storage is uninterupted
Remote Access – A storage server can be configured to be accessed from anywhere on the internet so that you can access your data remotely from wherever you are
You can store any type digital media on a storage server, including music, videos, pictures and documents. These can then be accessed by any other device on the network.
The amount of information a storage server can hold is wholly dependant on how much storage you purchase but as a rough guide, a 4Tb storage server can hold approximately :
And depending on the model, these capacities can be expanded very easily.
A Storage Server connects to your home network as an additional hard drive and is displayed on your computer as a network drive.
Each directory can be protected and accessed based on your security requirements. So every member of the household can have a personal area or you can share the drive for everyone.
The features that you choose can range from a single external hard drive in a network connection enclosure, up to a disc array consisting of several disks. Although the configurations do vary, they can be classified as follows, starting with the most cost effective :
Whichever option you choose, we can build, configure and install the perfect device for your needs.
