Setting up a XMac Mini Server for a client to share storage with 6 Mac Pro users through 1G Dedicated Network solution. It allows the clients to edit full HD real time on documentary projects. The Server is connecting to a Areca ARC-8050 Thunderbolt 32TB enterprise Storage. Through the XMacMini Server we are able to connect a SmallTree 6 ports 1G card which allow us to connect to 6 users directly. The mac mini server is also acting as an ingest system.

Late last year, the client has added the second unit of Areca ARC-8050T2 -32TB enterprise storage.the system allows you to expand and scale your storage gradually. It also allows you to increase your work force from 6 to 12 users.

The central storage system will help a growing team to reduce multiple copies of working files, solving backup and archive issues.

If you would like to find out more about the work flows, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are willing to set up a system for you to test before committing to the investment
