Not sure how much storage you need? Work it out with our storage calculator, or read how much storage a 4K project needs. Our guides also cover whether you need 10GbE and why your NAS needs a UPS. Want to try before you commit? Contact us to discuss your requirements or arrange a trial unit.

SC.03 Centralisation

Effortless data centralisation

A NAS brings all of your projects and raw video data together in a single, easy-to-manage system.

Centralised data gives you far greater redundancy than a drawer of external drives, and it lets you automate offsite backup for true data redundancy, should the unexpected happen.

On its own, though, a NAS is still one copy in one building. Our backup guide explains the 3-2-1 rule, and how to protect your footage from drive failure, ransomware, fire and theft.
