I am looking to upgrade the network storage for the office so I did abit of research and found that NAS would probably suit our needs.
Anyone has any experience with NAS? Is it easy to set up? Would it suitable for a small office that has 10-15 employee? Lastly, which brand? Our budget is upto 5K.
Im not an IT expert so any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thank for you help in advance guys.
I personally would recommend looking at Synology.
It's just network storage? no DNS/email storage etc? then yeah i'd go with a NAS over a small business server.
Keep in mind you'll want 2 external hard drives to auto copy backups from the server to, then once a week swap the drives over (one at home, one at work). Run a nightly backup that copies the data from the NAS to the external drive.
I work in an office of 7 and we have a NAS going. Doesn't get a heap of usage but it is pretty handy to have.
Sure it would work.
If you have 15 employees with computers I would have thought a Small Business Server/Server Essentials would be an option.
